Lyrics

He smelled of old leather
And cigarette smoke
I hung on every word that he spoke
A man of the earth and a man of the faith
Who cursed sometimes late at night when he prayed
He raised me rough but he raised me right
And taught me to cherish this God-given life
He taught me to always make my momma proud
And to be the type of man that folks want around
\"Don\'t go chasing no high hemmed skirts
And don\'t be afraid of a little dirt
Don\'t get caught up by past regrets.\"
These were the lessons I learned from dad
These are the lessons I learned from dad
He taught me to drive in my 93 Ford
4.0 and 5 speed on the floor
He wrote his sermons and smoked cigarettes
These are the memories I have of dad
Yeah, these are the memories I have of dad
I know we weren\'t close
But I wish we were
I\'d give anything to have you back on earth
I know that you\'re smiling
And I shouldn\'t be sad
You were far from perfect, but you were still my dad
You were far from perfect, but you were still my dad
I\'ve had my share of broken hearts
And plenty of nights closing down the bars
But I always come back to God again
I guess that\'s something I learned from dad
I guess that\'s something I learned from dad
