My Old Man
He was a giantAnd I was just a kidI was always tryingTo do everything he didI can still remember every lesson he taught meGrowing up learning how to be like my old man
He was a lionWe were our father's prideBut I was defiantWhen he made me walk the lineHe knew how to lift me upAnd when to let me fallLooking back, he always had a planMy old man
My old manFeel the callous on his handsAnd dusty overallsMy old manNow I finally understandI have a lot to learnFrom my old man
Now I'm a giantGot a son of my ownHe's always tryingTo go everywhere I goDo the best I can to raise him up the right wayHoping that he someday wants to beLike his old man
My old manI know one day we'll meet againAs he's looking downMy old manI hope he's proud of who I amI'm trying to fill the boot of my old man
My old man
