Vince Gill - Whippoorwill River Lyrics
(Vince Gill / Dean Dillon)My dad was a manWith two hard workin' handsHe always took time out for meWell, I'd come home from schoolLoad up that canoeHe'd say, "What's the bet gonna be?"Chorus:We'd float that boat down old Whippoorwill RiverCatch us a big one or twoWell, he taught me about lifeAnd its simple pleasuresAnd whatever else that he knew.Then I met a girlWith a head full of curlsA pure and innocent heartOh, I knew she was the oneAnd when weekends would comeWild horses couldn't keep us apart.Chorus:We'd run those ponies down Whippoorwill RiverAnd I'd steal a sweet kiss or twoShe taught me about loveAnd its simple pleasuresAnd whatever else that she knew.Well, I married that girlAnd we have a songAnd he looks like my daddy used toOh, his mom and IAlways find timeTo do things that he likes to do.Chorus:Well, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill RiverAnd ride in his grandad's canoeWe teach hima bout lifeAnd its simple pleasuresAnd pass down a memory or two.Yeah, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill RiverAnd catch him a big one or twoHe's learning about lifeAnd its simple pleasuresAnd making a memory or two.Ooh...
