Date Night In a Boat
The small Nettle Lake where we first hung out
Holds memories of our youth -
Parties and swimming and skiing and floating.
Marriage and kids and thirty years later
We forked out some cash
And bought a bass tracker.
Filled with excitement and joy
For the feeling of sweet release
Off we went in our new Dodge Ram truck.
To the past in the present
On our sweet Nettle Lake
When the motor died and we got stuck.
We fished our hearts out anyway
And trolled around the nooks
We putted around for hours.
We drank a few beers and kissed under the moon
Our date night in a boat
Over with too soon.
