Shoes to Fill

In first grade, I fell down in the driveway Scraped my knee and dad ran out with a Band-Aid Well, he sat down beside me, eye to eye there on the concrete Just let me cry and wiped my tears away At sixteen, I wrecked my first car And I thought he'd be mad 'cause it was my fault But he picked me up, dropped everything And swore he wouldn't say a thing Just let me cry and wiped my tears away Yeah, he spent my whole life setting the bar For the man who gets to have my heart So if you wanna take the hand that he held first You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will Baby, you got big shoes to fill Spent two years betting my heart on someone Who swore he'd never felt more in love Well on the day he walked away, all his words lost their weight But deep down I knew how it would end up 'Cause I know I'll know when love feels right Since I've seen it in my father's eyes If you wanna take the hand that he held first You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will Baby, you got big shoes to fill When it's time to give up my last name Dear whoever standing in his place If you wanna take the hand that he held first You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will Baby, you got big shoes to fill
