Avery Bell - Role Model Lyrics

I ain't been 'round this town long enough
But later in life that'll all be overdue
To learn from my mistakes when things get rough
To keep a smile on when things get blue
Livin by the things my daddy taught me
I can be a dreamer if I wanna be
Daddy said to be the man
And I can't always be with him
To treat a woman right and stick around
He could see the best in me
A version of him to some degree
The I love you's on the clock are ticking down
So if there's something to say I guess it'd follow
Dear Role Model
Polaroids of all our favorite memories
Like fishing out by the dock on the back porch
And that time we went to the ballgame down on 6th street
Everything was something we were wishing for
He stuck with me and everything and I've been through
And he'll be standing right there on the day I say I do
Daddy said to be the man
And I can't always be with him
To treat a woman right and stick around
He could see the best in me
A version of him to some degree
The I love you's on the clock are ticking down
So if there's something to say I guess it'd follow
Dear Role Model
Dear Role Model
