My tackle box was my father’s
It’s a little beat up, painted Coleman green
He gave it to me when I was younger
It’s the only one I’ll ever need.
And it’s sat beside me
Down through the years now
On a rowboat seat o the bank of a stream
And the best of memories are tucked inside it
Alongside the lures and the fishing dreams.
Chorus
Now if that ain’t treasure
I don’t know what is
The rarest kind beneath the sun
Those fishing memories are passed down with it
From a fishing man to his fishing son
My grandpa always fished the big lakes
He liked to troll the cold and deep
More flash and sparkle was his theory
He never lacked lake trout to eat
When I turned eighteen, he lost his vision
He said his fishing days had flown
He sent me all his fishing tackle
Like a pirate’s chest of glittering gold
Chorus
Now if that ain’t treasure
I don’t know what is
The rarest kind beneath the sun
Those fishing memories are passed down with it
From a fishing man to his grandson
From fisherman to fisherman
