Well the sun would rise and we would too
Bright and early on an August day
Grab both fly rods and an old pair of shoes
Throw on a hat and we were on our way
Drivin' down to the river on that old dirt road
Tellin' jokes and just a singin' loud
With a coke in my hand I saw the beauty of the land
And the skies without a cloud
Well this is life the way it was meant to be
Out here in the cool blue water just you and me
And as I remember those times that we had
There ain't nothing better in this life
Than fishin' with my dad
We would sit in the sunlight on the bank of the river
As we tried to choose the right fly
Listenin' to the sounds of the Colorado water as it rushed on by
Then I would choose my side and he would choose his
Casting our lines out beneath the bridge
Trying to find a way we could get them to bite
So that we could be the winner at the end of the night
Well this is life the way it was meant to be
Out here in the clear blue water just you and me
And as I remember those times that we had
There ain't nothing better in this life
Than fishin' with my dad
And I remember his stories
And his predictions of the weather (A)
But the one thing that I loved the most
Was the time we spent B7) together
