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.
