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...

Uh, yea.. it's pretty hard NOT to understand. Pretty much saying how his views on girls changed as he got older.

he doesnt want the girl to be taken. 1st i think itz like this girl he likes. the second time, hes talking about that same girl only theyr dating or married and this guy comes up and threatens to shoot the girl if he doesnt give him what he wants and tims like 'hey take everything u want from me, just plz dont take her' and then the last one is where shes having his baby and they tell him the babys fine but the woman is dieing and he starts crying and begging the doctors to put him in her place so she wont die. sooo sad.

this song is so cute he loves the girl that much that he wants the lord to put him in her place just think how much he changed from when he was little and didnt want her to go fishing with him i would cry my eyes out if i was put in that position and my love was dieing and all i could do was pray for it to be me instead

He's saying how he doesn't want to be with the girl at first, but then he says that he'd do anything to be with her and he loves her so much he's willing to do anything for her sake.

This is so sad. Its totally about a guy that changes his mind about girls as most men do and how he would rather risk his own life than to see his wife not live. Sorry, but I'm a sap! LOL!
