Back to Fishin n Giggin
Well butter my biscuits… we done made it back to the good part 😄 Hit that banjo, boys! We met at a schoolin’ place forty-nine years gone by Two youngins passin’ notes while the teacher wondered why You was readin’, writin’, teasin’, stealin’ all my air Nobody in the whole wide world even knew we was there Bell rang, we ran like bandits bustin’ outta jail Straight to that ol’ fishin’ hole down by the creek and trail With our hound dog Issac ridin’ shotgun in the truck Catchin’ frogs and snakes and yellin’ “WHO NEEDS ANY LUCK?!” Clap clap We didn’t have money, didn’t need a plan Just a kiss, a creek, and a borrowed frying pan Now we’re back to fishin’ and giggin’ Laughin’ and livin’, just grinnin’ and kissin’ Kids done flew like a screen door in the wind House got quiet so we fell in love again Ain’t got worries, ain’t got chores Just two old hearts and squeaky porch floors Yeah life keeps spinnin’, but listen here friend— We’re back to fishin’ and giggin’ again! Had ourselves three chillin’, Lord they kept us runnin’ wild Every trip to Walmart turned into a missing child 😆 Soccer games and science fairs and homework piled up high Found a grilled cheese in my pocket from July You’d holler “Honey take the trash!” I’d say “Yes ma’am I swear!” Then forget and chase a possum halfway ‘cross the county fair Smoke alarm applause every time I tried to cook Neighbors kept a fire truck bookmarked in their book Years went flyin’ faster than my hair fell out Now the nest is empty and the fun broke out We’re back to fishin’ and giggin’ Laughin’ and livin’, just grinnin’ and kissin’ Grandbabies visit then they run back home We wave and nap like a metronome No PTA, no carpool line Just sweet tea kisses and plenty of time Yeah life keeps spinnin’, but listen here friend— We’re back to fishin’ and giggin’ again! You wear my flannel, I wear your shades We argue ‘bout who misplaced the teeth and the braids We slow dance nightly to the crickets’ band And forget what we argued ‘bout halfway through holdin’ hands I asked you once, “Girl why you still here?” You said “Cause you still make me laugh, you old goofball dear.” Hey! Kick off them shoes! Watch out for the frogs! We’re back to fishin’ and giggin’ Laughin’ and livin’, still crazy and smitten From classroom whispers to silver-haired love Still thank the good Lord above Porch swing squeakin’, sun goin’ down Two old teenagers still sneakin’ around Yeah life keeps spinnin’, but listen here friend— We’re back to fishin’ and giggin’ again! Now grab the gig pole, darlin’… I seen a frog wink at me 😄
