The lyrics
[Verse 1]
Met you at Circle K, November of '92,
You handed me a coffee, I cracked a joke or two.
Thirty days later, December rolled right in,
Married you quick—waiting never felt like a win.
We laughed at the odds, took the whole town by surprise,
Even your fishing poles didn’t see that bite.
Looking back now, I still grin,
Since Circle K in '92, you keep reeling us in.
[Chorus]
Since Circle K in '92, you keep reeling us in,
Best husband, dad, and friend—don’t know where to begin.
Thirty years, same job, now it’s just fish on the line,
We love you Rudy—still, you fish too much, but that’s fine.
[Verse 2]
Three grown kids—Rufus Jr., Myron, Tiffany in the yard,
Nevaeh running circles, playing grandma’s card.
We’ve had our ups and downs, but mostly up for sure,
Lost Rufus Jr. in 2019—hearts tender, but pure.
You hold us together, even when you’re gone at dawn,
With bait and tackle packed—you say, “I won’t be long.”
We tease you, but we’d never trade your grin,
Since Circle K in '92, you keep reeling us in.
[Chorus]
Since Circle K in '92, you keep reeling us in,
Best husband, dad, and friend—don’t know where to begin.
Thirty years, same job, now it’s just fish on the line,
We love you Rudy—still, you fish too much, but that’s fine.
[Bridge]
Retired now, but you clock in at the lake,
We joke you’d fish the bathtub if you thought you’d get a take.
You show up for us all—never missing a beat,
From tackle boxes to grandbaby’s tiny feet.
You’re the one we call when the sink won’t drain,
Or when Nevaeh draws fish in crayon, calling your name.
We laugh at your stories, the “big one that got away,”
But Rudy, you’re the keeper—every single day.
[Final Chorus]
Since Circle K in '92, you keep reeling us in,
Best husband, dad, and friend—don’t know where to begin.
Thirty years, same job, now it’s just fish on the line,
We love you Rudy—still, you fish too much, but that’s fine.
