Call me a sentimental sappy fag if you like, but I love this song!! (song at the bottom of the lyrics)

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
when he was eight years old.
a little girl came through the front gate
holding a fishing pole
his dad looked down and smiled
said we can't leave her behind
son I know you don't want her to go
but someday you'll change your mind
and Johnny said
take Jimmy Johnson
take Tommy Thompson
take my best friend Bo-
take anybody that you want as
long as she don't go
take any boy in the world
daddy please- don't take the girl

Same old boy
same sweet girl
ten years down the road
he held her tight and kissed her lips
in front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
grabbed her by the arm
said if you do what I tell you to do
there won't be any harm
and Johnny said
take my money
take my wallet
take my credit cards
here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
here's the keys to my car
mister give it a whirl
but please-don't take the girl

Same old boy
same sweet girl
five years down the road
there's gonna be a little one
and she says it's time to go
docter says the baby's fine
but you'll have to leave
cause his momma's fading fast
and Johnny hit his knees
and there he prayed
take the very breath you gave me
take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place
if you'll let me
make this my last request
take me out of this world
God please-don't take the girl

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
when he was eight years old.

Damn Jim! You sentimental sappy fag!!!! hahahahahaha!

But seriously, what great words to that song! Did the girl live though, through child birth? I hate not knowing whether the ending was good or not...

Sappy, heart wrenching songs are my favorite!

....Did the girl live though, through child birth? ....
Interesting question. I had always simply assumed that she did not. But looking at the words now it could have gone either way.

Well sum bitch Jim... you sloppy ball kissin' faggot... I HATE this freaging song... really. McGraw couldn't sound like a bigger sissy, whiny, coward, twit in this song if he tried. I remember when it came out, I couldn't change the channel or mute whatever fast enough. FUCK!

I better send you some David Allen Coe to toughen your ass up... :laugh2:

(And feel free to call me whatever you see fit... :D)

Best lyrics ever:

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train!
