In this heartfelt country ballad, Trace Adkins captures the essence of a father-daughter bonding experience. The narrative unfolds through the simple act of fishing, which serves as a metaphor for deeper emotional connections and life lessons. While the daughter believes they are merely spending time by the riverside, her father recognizes these moments as invaluable opportunities to impart love and wisdom. The song poignantly contrasts the child's innocent perspective with the father's awareness of fleeting time and impending changes. Through vivid imagery and tender dialogue, Adkins emphasizes that these shared experiences are about much more than catching fish—they are foundational memories that will shape their relationship for years to come.
Just Fishin'
Lyrics
I'm lost in her there holdin' that pink rod and reel
She's doin' almost everything but sittin' still
Talkin' 'bout her ballet shoes and training wheels
And her kittens
And she thinks we're just fishin'
I say, "Daddy loves you, baby" one more time
She says, "I know, I think I've got a bite"
And all this laughin', cryin, smilin', dyin' here inside's
What I call, livin'
And she thinks we're just fishin' on the riverside
Throwin' back what we could fry
Drownin' worms and killin' time
Nothin' too ambitious
She ain't even thinkin' 'bout
What's really goin' on right now
But I guarantee this memory's a big'in
And she thinks we're just fishin'
She's already pretty, like her mama is
Gonna drive the boys all crazy
Give her daddy fits
And I better do this every chance I get
'Cause time is tickin'
(Yeah it is)
And she thinks we're just fishin' on the riverside
Throwin' back what we could fry
Drownin' worms and killin' time
Nothin' too ambitious
She ain't even thinkin' 'bout
What's really goin' on right now
But I guarantee this memory's a big'in
And she thinks we're just fishin'
She ain't even thinkin' 'bout
What's really goin' on right now
But I guarantee this memory's a big'in
And she thinks we're just fishin'
Yeah, aw, she thinks we're just fishin'
We ain't only fishin'
(This ain't about fishin')
