Cole Goodwin - What Dad Did Lyrics

Mossberg 12 that he had for years
Managed to kill a few old deer over top of my head
I remember every one
A Custom Craft with the speckled paint
A speckled trout killer in my younger days
Two stroke jokin' chasin' a summer sun
From the outside lookin' in
He was just another man
But that average Joe he made me who I am
When he'd say speak a little softer when you're talking to a woman
And let her know you're meaning what you say
Stand behind your word and on the Good Lord when you're falling
And thank Him at the end of the day
He was Superman in Levi's
And every thought in my mind said I'll make it 'til the day I'm just like him
When I'd have done anything
To be able to do what dad did
Shiftin' gears in a five speed
Took a while to figure out how he'd
Ease off the clutch and lay down on the gas
From soft toss in the backyard
To over the fence at the ballpark
I'd eat my greens and hope to hit like that
Yeah anything he ever mentioned
He had all my attention
When he'd say speak a little softer when you're talking to a woman
And let her know you're meaning what you say
Stand behind your word and on the Good Lord when you're falling
And thank Him at the end of the day
He was Superman in Levi's
And every thought in my mind said I'll make it 'til the day I'm just like him
When I'd have done anything
To be able to do what dad did
These days I'm gettin' older and closer to the day
That I'll have one of my own and have to think of him and say
Son speak a little softer when you're talking to that woman
Let her know you're meaning what you say
Stand behind your word and on the Good Lord when you're falling
And thank Him at the end of the day
I hope I'm superman in Levi's
And every thought in my mind takes me back to when I strived to be like him
When I'd have done anything
To be able to do what dad did
I'd still do anything
To be able to do what dad did
