  • Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
    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 going to 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 fishin'
    When he was eight years old

    This is such a Moving song. My Wife and I were blessed with a Beautiful Little Boy. We had some complications through the delivery and it was one of those moments in my life where I was talking to God just like that little boy in this song. I remember sitting on the bed holding my Wife’s Hand and praying God whatever it takes for me to keep her I’ll do it. We had been at the Hospital for 15 hours before our Little Boy was born. My Wife’s blood pressure kept plunging to 60/30 and she was going unresponsive. It absolutely sacred me so bad that I actually hit the floor and prayed a similar prayer as this song. It’s a Beautiful song.
    God moved for us that day and My Wife and Son are very healthy today and we are still giving God the Glory. I’m a full grown Man and this songs gets me every time I hear it.

    For city Hispanic guy, and growing up with a complete different style of music. I can’t get away from country music! There’s so much intensity, and genuine emotion within the lyrics of these type of music that is impossible not to get inside the music. This song is sooooo amazing. Although I’m a fan of Randy Travis I genuinely enjoy all those old school country singers.

      White guy....city boy...and Veteran who grew up in Seattle 80-98. What drew me to country music? Brad Paisley's "Anything Like Me". The song I sang to both of my boys during feeding times, on road trips, putting them down for bed. To this day (11 and 10 years old), I can sing it and they fall asleep. I haven't gone back to the grunge stuff, as you said...these lyrics are filled with true emotions and intensity.

    Memories are something nobody can take away from you!
    I cope, relate & listen to a massive range of music but this one makes me cry everytime, below is my reason why!
    This one especially shatters my heart every single time I hear it. Why? The reason is because I can't hear the voice emphasizing the lyrics, the voice singing this to me, the eyes looking at me and the touch of his hand holding onto me....because he's gone. I can't call him on the phone, I can't see his smile, I can't sweat to death seeing him sit outside in 90 degree weather in jeans. I can't do any of these things, the only thing I can do is remember the memories. I remember exactly where we were, what he was wearing, and the look he gave me.
    We were in the "Blueberry" he was driving in his cowboy boots, jeans, and a white tshirt. He had his black dog on his left leg in the driver seat. I was sitting between the front seats on the tv box that was in that spot. It was just me and him in the van. He let me sit there cause he held me close because we were driving 5 mph through the park at Otter Creek by Marshalltown. I was 10 years old. This song came on the radio and he took my hand, I was rocking from side to side as he was singing to me. He said no one will take you, because I won't let them and that's why he sings "Don't take the girl". 🥺😢😭
    Why does this stick with me so vividly? Because this was the last full memory I have. Other than hospital visits, lots of tears, and his memory fading as the days went on. That same week this happened, this was also the same week he had a stroke in the camper and that he later died from.
    Will these flashbacks, tears or memories stop me from listening to this song over and over again? Absolutely not, this is here to constantly remind me that he maybe gone physically but this also reminds me he still is there holding onto me, smiling at me, sitting in the jeans outside with a drink in his hand and his dog on his lap driving in the Blueberry.
    Coming up to his "death day anniversary" November 26th I will be listening to this over and over so the happy memories flood my mind and help me get through the last 10 days of this month! 💔💔 He would have been one of my greatest protectors just like my mom and dad are. They would give everything for me, they would even give up their life if they had to, my grandpa would have done the same!

    The recent passing of Craig Martin, the man who wrote this song brought me back here today. This song impacted my life so deeply on so many levels. My baby girl who was 2 years old at the time when this song was released absolutely loved it and made me sing to her hundreds of times over the course of 2 years after it was released. It's the only song that to this very day makes me cry when I hear it and when I do sing it. It has such a deeply emotional feeling to its lyrics and to me means so much. God rest his precious soul. He was taken far too soon and the world has lost a very talented and good man. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Tim McGraw did a beautiful job of bringing Craig Martin's vision of this song to life. Thank you, Tim. It means so much to so many of us. RIP Craig.

    Honest to God, the first time I heard this song was when it came out in '94. It was brand new. I was in my dad's truck and we were going fishing. It was the first song that came on after my dad cranked up the truck.
    So... My name is "Johnny". My dad was "taking me fishing". I "was 8 years old" (born in '86).
    I think about that fishing trip every time I hear this song.
    (The girl stuff didn't happen lol But it tripped me out hearing that at that age.)
