Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing When he was eight years old A little girl came through the front gate Holdin' a fishin' pole And 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 And 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 He grabbed her by the arm Said, if you do what I tell you to There, there won't be any harm And Johnny said, take my money, take my wallet And take my credit cards And here's a watch that my grandpa gave me And here's the key 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 The doctor says the baby's fine But you'll have to leave 'Cause his mama's fading fast and Johnny hit his knees and there he prayed Take the very breath you gave me And 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
