Out On The Lake

Thoughts of my Pop, he was a wonderful man, and is an Amazing Being who's here with Me NOW. Though his body rests with the dust.

We'd always start Out, with High Hopes

Thinkin' we'd Hook the Big One

But by mid-afternoon it's Always the Same

Wakin' from the Burn from the Sun

Driftin' out on the Calm Waves

It would always roll us to Sleep

And as I remember those summer Days

Well papa, it brings me to Weep

The Starcraft always brought us Home

Even when the Canopy was taken to the Sky

And now it sits quiet and Alone

And as I remember it just makes me want to Cry

But too, it brings back my boyhood Smile

As I remember you, out on the Lake

You were always Happy all the While

If we caught our catch or nothin' Take

Even with the ol' nine horse 16 Footer

On the Lake called Michigamme

You were born on one end of Her

And on the other was born Me

About the only thing I have twas Yours

Is that Starcraft, that I toed and never Road

But it's 'bout the only thing I got twas Yours

So how can I let, how can I let her Goed

To you Pop, I wish we shared a Few More

Of those Days, out on the Lake

And many times when I look at Her dry Moored

I Remember your Smile ... Out on the Lake
