More Time Fishin' - Commentary

More time fishin' was a song that my dad

Had had that idea for a couple years and

Kinda wrote a few different variations of that and this was actually

On the same weekend that I wrote "To The Guys That Date My Girls"

It kinda seems like on records in the past, like when

You write one that you kinda feel like solidifies

The record, you kinda write another one back to back

Like especially when you're in the zone like that

So "More Time Fishin'" is really not even about fishing at all

It's more like I don't wanna wake up one day and

Realize that I just grinded my whole life away

And look back and be like, "But I

Missed every present moment," you know?

I don't wanna turn fifty and look back and see

The things that Lauren and I have accumulated

And look back at it and go, "Yeah, but I traded that success

For quality time with my kids or quality time with my family"

And so I love to fish and my girls love to fish with me and

I hope I just look back one day and realize that

I did cherish every single moment that I got to

Spend with my kids and with my wife intentionally

Even if it meant saying no to something career-wise

'Cause I think when you get towards the end of your life

Those are the things that you'll look back on as important
