Every morning I wake up
Put on a brand new day
Kiss my boy,  grab my coat
Drive these 18 wheels away
With the words I miss you daddy
That echo in my mind
And I think of all the years
I've left behind

But its too late to turn this truck around
And tell the boss I ain't leaving town
Go home and grab a fishing pole or two
Me and my boy in that old bench seat
Wonder what he'll think of me
Will he forgive the man this road turned me into
Don't want to spend my whole life wishing
I shoulda taken him fishing

I pulled off the ramp I needed to stop
He was tugging at my heart
Opened up his homemade lunch
That when I found his card
There were two stickmen and a dinosaur
Drawn in Crayola blue
And then the words  I miss the most
"Dad I love you"

Is it too late to turn this truck around
Tell the boss I'm ain't leaving town
Go home grab a fishing pole or two
Me and my boy in that old bench seat
I wonder what he'll think of me
Will he forgive the man this road turned me into
Don't want to spend my whole life wishing
I shoulda taken him fishing

We're gonna put a largemouth on the wall
Before the years fly by
Every time he sees it hanging there
He'll always remember the time

I turned that big ole truck around
Told the boss I ain't  leaving town
Went home and grabbed a fishing pole or two
Wonder what he thinks of me
As we're sitting on the bank of that creek
Don't wanna be the man this road turned me into
Not gonna spend my whole life wishing
Now I realize all that I'd been missing
'Cause I took him fishing

I hope takes his own boy fishing
