“I have found my final resting place, That Special spot to fish
Remember the times that we shared – You too, I will miss
This is the journey I must take, and I must go alone
Know that my heart is with you, as I take this journey home
To that final fishing hole, for fisherman like me
To tell the biggest fishing tales about the one that got away
Remember me with fondness, This is not goodbye
It is “Till we meet again”, At the fishing hole in the sky”
