[00:11.47]Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
[00:15.99]When he was eight years old
[00:20.76]A little girl came through the front gate
[00:25.25]Holdin' a fishing pole
[00:30.11]His dad looked down and smiled
[00:34.56]Said we can't leave her behind
[00:39.19]Son I know you don't want her to go
[00:43.70]But someday you'll change your mind
[00:46.95]And Johnny said "Take Jimmy Johnson,
[00:50.80]Take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
[00:56.92]Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
[01:05.44]Take any boy in the world
[01:10.95]Daddy please don't take the girl
[01:16.68]
[01:26.58]Same old boy
[01:28.05]Same sweet girl
[01:31.29]Ten years down the road
[01:35.63]He held her tight and kissed her lips
[01:39.40]In front of the picture show
[01:44.46]Stranger came and pulled a gun
[01:50.02]Grabbed her by the arm said
[01:54.80]"If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm"
[02:01.93]And Johnny said "Take my money
[02:05.73]Take my wallet, take my credit cards
[02:13.31]Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
[02:17.97]Here's the key to my car
[02:20.46]Mister give it a whirl
[02:25.18]But please don't take the girl
[02:31.59]
[02:41.31]Same old boy
[02:42.73]Same sweet girl
[02:46.02]Five years down the road
[02:50.42]There's going to be a little one
[02:54.13]And she says it's time to go
[03:00.00]Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
[03:08.20]'Cause his momma's fading fast
[03:12.81]And Johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
[03:18.84]Take the very breath you gave me
[03:23.39]Take the heart from my chest
[03:26.63]I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
[03:32.49]Make this my last request
[03:35.28]Take me out of this world
[03:40.75]God, please don't take the girl
[03:52.10]Johnny's daddy
