Hope it goes without saying but I'll say it.. I write Character songs about life, love, loss in culture around us.....and true songs on the love of Jesus Christ
Lyrics
Live Well (C) 2025 Gregory Valentine
I remember that metal zippo lighter
Watching him make fire with a click
Catching that first whiff of Marlboro smoke
From his fresh lit cigarette
I remember his head shake smile
when the car door broke my rod tip off
And smell of melted plastic worms
in his lime green tacklebox
He knew I loved fishing ,so grandpa took me all the time
But hed always wind up talking more,than casting out a line
Chorus
Guess he knew someday
Id be out here again
Reeling in ,all of his old stories ,along with every fish
Thought he was just waiting on a bite,
When hed go on and on about life,
His best moments and his fails
But he was just,putting memories,
in the live well
Hed say ,boy Im glad you like to fish
I think Jesus mighta liked it too
Then hed talk about the Bible ,saints
And all the miracles he knew
Said he was wilder in his younger days
Lost his best friend in a car crash
We can always come back if they dont bite today
But life dont always give a second chance
Now Ive been on this boat ,doing more thinking than fishing all afternoon
I had to smile ,cuz thats what Grandpa,
Wanted me to do
chorus
Guess he knew someday
Id be out here again
Reeling in ,all of his old stories ,along with every fish
Thought he was just waiting on a bite,
When hed go on and on about life,
His best moments and his fails
But he was just,putting memories,
in the live well
Now its getting late out on this lake
So I crank up the boat
If you can hear me, grandpa
Ill see you out here ,the next time I go!!!
Outro
Guess he knew someday
Id be out here again
Reeling in ,all of his old stories ,along with every fish
Thought he was just waiting on a bite,
When hed go on and on about life,
His best moments and his fails
But he was just,putting memories,
in the live well
Yeah, he was just, putting memories,
In the live well
