[00:11.63]Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
[00:15.38]When he was eight years old
[00:18.77]A little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
[00:28.32]His dad looked down and smiled, said we cant leave her behind

[00:46.99]And Johnny said take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
[00:56.14]Take anybody that you want, as long as she dont go
[01:05.24]Take any boy in the world

[01:42.73]Stranger came and pulled a gun
[01:48.62]Grabbed her by the arm, said if you do what I tell you to there wont be any harm

[02:59.00]Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
[03:08.30]'cause his momma's fading fast and johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
[03:19.08]Take the very breath you gave me
[03:23.15]Take the heart from my chest
