Half the Man

Growin' up, there wasn't much my daddy couldn't fix If it wouldn't work, he'd make the old look new again The house, the fence, the bike, the car The little girl tears from a broken heart Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is It's never gonna fly if he's the kinda guy that doesn't fish He better keep his word, ain't afraid to work, and knows who he is Strong with his hands, gentle with his touch And no such thing as lovin' me too much Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is A man of few words, a man who leads The man he is is who he wants for me Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is To find a man that's half the man my daddy is
