Dad
Daddy had an old Chevy with a three on the tree
Taught me how to drive that truck when I was thirteen
I kept popping that clutch and stalling that ride
But he always kept saying Son you're doing just fine
Just keep your eyes on the road ahead
He was a great dad always teaching me bout life
Showing me the world and how to love and to fight
He said family and friends will be a guiding light
So hold them close son, through the days and nights
And he taught me how to live and to be a man
With a loving heart and a helping hand just like my Dad
He'd tell me some stories bout his childhood days
Growing up with Grandpa in so many same ways
They went fishing by the river milked cows in the barn
Learning life's lessons living on the farm
He'd say Son these are the moments that make you strong
He was a great dad always teaching me bout life
Showing me the world and how to love and to fight
He said family and friends will be a guiding light
So hold them close son through the days and nights
And he taught me how to live and to be a man
With a loving heart and a helping hand just like my Dad
Life aint always easy but we'll make it through
Family sticks together in all that we do
Through the highs and the lows the laughter and tears
We'll hold on tight through the passing years
He was a great dad always teaching me bout life
Showing me the world and how to love and to fight
He said family and friends will be a guiding light
So hold them close son through the days and nights
And he taught me how to live and to be a man
With a loving heart and a helping hand just like my Dad
Dad passed away last night but his spirits still here
Left me with memories so precious and dear
And his old pickup truck where he taught me to drive
I'm now teaching my boy to keep Dad's legacy alive
He was a great dad always teaching me bout life
Showing me the world and how to love and to fight
He said, family and friends will be a guiding light
So hold them close son through the days and nights
And he taught me how to live,and to be a man
With a loving heart and a helping hand just like my Dad
