He was a giant,
And I was just a kid.
I was always trying,
To do everything he did.
I can still remember
Every lesson he taught me,
Growing up, learning how to be
Like my old man.
He was a Lion,
We were our fathers pride.
But I was defiant,
When he made me walk the line.
He knew how to lift me up,
And when to let me fall.
Looking back, he always had a plan
My old man.
My old man,
Feel the callous on his hands
And dusty overalls.
My old man,
Now I finally understand
I have alot to learn,
From my old man.
Now I'm a giant,
Got a son of my own.
He's always trying,
To go everywhere I go.
Do the best I can,
To raise him up the right way.
Hoping that, he someday wants to be
Like his old man.
Instrumental
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
My old man,
I know one day we'll meet again
As he's looking down.
My old man,
I hope he's proud of who I am
I'm trying to fill the boots,
Of my old man.
