Crossed the shoulder through the woods
 To the fishing hole
 I tried to keep up the best I could
 He answered with love
 All the questions of his little man
 Daddy taught me about life
 In words I could understand

 You gotta roll up your sleeves
 Put your back into your work son
 Always believe in the good Lord's way
 You gotta hold your mouth right
 When your going for the big one
 Once you get a line on love
 Don't let it get away

 Driving my old car
 That we worked on after school
 He's a football star
 And his daddy's a proud old fool
 It's a brand new world
 Full of girls and teenage dreams
 When he asks for my advice
 The answer's still the same

 You gotta roll up your sleeves
 Put your back into your work son
 Always believe in the good Lord's way
 You gotta hold your mouth right
 When your going for the big one
 Once you get a line on love
 Don't let it get away
 Once you get a line on love
 Don't let it get away
