[Verse]
It's a good excuse to watch the sun go down Am
On a gravel pit outside of Ftown C
My father had three daughters Am
So I became his only Fson C

Summertime in Allen County Am
You can slice the air like Fbread C
Pack up our old Rambler Am
With cane G/Bpoles and little Fsaid
[Chorus]
You never talk much in a Gfishing boat
‘Cause it justC scareG/Bs the fish aFway
You justG give it time and waFtch your line
[Instrumental]
C Am F C
[Verse]
When I'd ask what we were fishing for Am
He'd just say, “An hour or Ftwo” C
Some folks are always like that Am
And never realG/Bly answer Fyou
[Chorus]
You never talk much in a Gfishing boat
‘Cause it justC scareG/Bs the fish aFway
You justG give it time and waFtch your line
[Instrumental]
C Am F C
[Verse]
The sun goes down and why, no one knows Am
I grew up out of my Ffishing clothes C
I told him once and he slowly smiled Am
That his only G/Bson wasF expecting a child
[Chorus]
You never talk much in a Gfishing boat
‘Cause it justC scareG/Bs the fish aFway
You justG give it time and waFtch your line
[Instrumental]
C Am F C
[Verse]
I'll remember all my life Am
My father's face in the Fdeep twilight C
In a boat under the evening sun Am
Throwing G/Bback the Flittle ones
