Nebraska native Lucas Hoge is out with a heartfelt new tune, “Wishin’ I Was Fishin,’” which pays tribute to his father.
“I have always wanted to write a song about my dad,” Hoge tells American Songwriter about the song, which he co-wrote with Phillip Lammond. “Family is so important and my relationship with dad means the world to me. My buddy Phillip and I agreed that paying homage to our dads would make for a great song. We both grew up fishing with our dads and thought writing about that time alone you get with your dad while out on the water would be something a lot of people can connect with. I’ve been fishing and hunting with my dad since I was a kid and I think a lot of people grow up spending their quality time with their fathers out on a lake fishing. My hope is that this song takes you back to those special memories with your dad, just like it does for me. “
