Fathers Day (guitar and piano} by Chris Huff published on 2023-06-22T22:28:58Z So I was supposed to do a fishing song last week for father's day where I play sometimes, but I didn't know any, and I just couldn't find one that would fit my style, so I decided to write this one. I didn't sing it though, it's too slow and depressing (surprise!) haha. But here is a rough version of it, I'm working on a more finished version now. This is just a story, my Dad did take out to the Old Lock to fish when I was little, but I kind of hated it, because I had to be quiet and still for 3 hours sitting in a boat.. and my Dad died when I was a teenager so we never went out there later in life.. he was a cool guy, he actually built fishing boats, they weren't anything fancy but it was really amazing to me that he could do that in his little shed in the back yard.. Getting up at 4a m before the birds are singing Rise and shine to the smell of the coffee percolating Load up the truck put the gear in the boat we’ll spend the day out fishing What a way to spend a saturday, out on the river And the coffeeville road is dark and long but we know which way to go we’ve been this way a million times to our favorite fishing hole… The old lock and dam on the Tombigbee river.. Take me down to the river one more time Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines And we can feel the breeze, and watch the wind blow through the trees The way it used to b The river is life, the river is love, but the river is tough sometimes But the river is hope, t r is dreams , as it runs through my life it’s full of the memories of my dad and me together And it feels like it goes on and on, but nothing lasts forever And the Coffeeville road don’t seem as long as it did those years ago And were going one more time to our favorite fishing hole.. Take me down to the river one more time You can put your feet in the water to ease your troubled mind Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines And we can feel the breeze, and watch the shadows through the trees My Dad and me… Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Mike Fox What a beautiful song Chris ! 2024-02-10T20:50:01Z Comment by Walkin' in Pa's Footsteps quite the mixture/soon to be a fixtute 2023-10-06T18:59:16Z Comment by Liz Dicker What a lovely song Chris… 2023-10-05T20:30:27Z Comment by Damon Peterson Really lovely my man! 2023-08-22T12:40:24Z Comment by 🏙️ fxolingz 🌃 This is such a cute song.
