Song lyrics
Johnny's daddy was takin him fishing
When he was eight years old.
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled
Said we can't leave her behind
Son I know you don't want her to go
But someday you'll change your mind
And Johnny said
Take Jimmy Johnson
Take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want as
Long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please- don't take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road

He held her tight and kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm
Said if you do what I tell you to
There won't be any harm
And Johnny said
Take my money
Take my wallet
Take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please-don't take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road

There's gonna be a little one
And she says it's time to go
Doctor says the baby's fine
But you'll have to leave
Cause his momma's fading fast
And Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place
If you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God please-don't take the girl

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
When he was eight years old...

I love this song. I dated a guy named Johnny and this was our song. most every couple has their favorite song or the song they first danced to or whatever but this one was ours.

Wow, I hate country music as a whole but this song is absolutely incredible. Many props to Tim McGraw for this one, VERY well done.

this song is one of my favorite country songs ever...i love how tim sings about a little 8 year old boy growing up with the same girl and with the same love for the girl and not wanting to give her up for anything, whether it's his best friend when he's 8, anything he owns when he's 18, and his life when he's 23. it's great!!!!!

Actually, when he's 8, he wants to give her up for his best friends. His views changed when he turned 18 but when he's 8, he would be willing to take any boy out there instead of her because he hadn't reached the age yet where he gets those types of feelings.

I really like this song and so does my friend and for those of you how dont know what this songs about. It's about a guy who finds someone he really loves and dosent want anything to happen to her and at the end he basicly prays to GOD and asks him not to let her die and he would rather GOD take him then her

along with lonestar's Amazed, this is one of the few country songs i really love. i usually listen to things like my chemical romance and pray for the soul of betty... like punk and rock and stuff like that. but with songs like these, you have no choice but to love them. This song REALLY touches me and it's probably my first or second fave country songs.

this song remindes me of this girl i really really love and would seriously die or kill for her this may sound stupid because i'm olny 12 but i love her and she is a wonderful person who's preety and funny and she can always keep my smiling even if i was sad about somthing like a family member dying or somthing. but that fun may be cut short at anytime because she has a tomer wrapped around her spine and they can't remove it or else she cant walk it's not harmful thank god but it could be at anytime i just hope its not for another 500 years lol. i could write about her all night but you guys would get annoyed so i'll cut it short i would love to get an email from you
