(From The 2026 Album 650)
Intro
Verse 1
He Won′T Remember That It's Raining
Or The Million Times He′S Tangled Up His Line
That Bluegill On His Hook Will Be The Memory
And That Smile On His Face, That'll Be Mine
Chorus
Right Now, Buddy, I'm Gonna Soak This In
′Cause I Know It Won′T Always Be Like This
I'm Gonna Blink And He′Ll Be Walking Out That Door
And He's Growing Up Just Like A Weed
And Damn If He Don′T Look Just Like Me
Waving At His Mama Standing On That Shore
I Hope I'm Here To See Him Have His Own Kids
I Hope He Gets To Feel Just Like This
When The Boy In The Boat Ain′T The Boy In The Boat No More
Interlude
Verse 2
And He Don't Realize That This Don't Last Forever
He Don′T Understand How Fast Time Can Fly
Hell, I Guess I′M About The Same Age As My Old Man
When He Sat Me Down In A Jon Boat My First Time
Chorus
Right Now, Buddy, I'm Gonna Soak This In
′Cause I Know It Won′T Always Be Like This
I'm Gonna Blink And He′Ll Be Walking Out That Door
And He's Growing Up Just Like A Weed
And Damn If He Don′T Look Just Like Me
Waving At His Mama Standing On That Shore
I Hope I'm Here To See Him Have His Own Kids
I Hope He Gets To Feel Just Like This
When The Boy In The Boat Ain′T The Boy In The Boat No More
Interlude
Bridge
Oh, It Ain′T About Catching No Fish
It's About Days I′M Gonna Miss
With That Boy In The Boat
Yeah, That Boy In The Boat
Out-Chorus
And He's Growing Up Just Like A Weed
And Damn If He Don′T Look Just Like Me
Waving At His Mama Standing On That Shore
I Hope I'm Here To See Him Have His Own Kids
I Hope He Gets To Feel Just Like This
When The Boy In The Boat Ain′T The Boy In The Boat No More
When The Boy In The Boat Ain't The Boy In The Boat No More
