My Old Man

He was a giant and I was just a kid

I was always tryin' to do everything he did

I can still remember every lesson he taught me

Growin' up, learning how to be

Like my old man

He was a lion, we were our father's pride

But I was defiant when he made me walk a 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 a lot to learn

From my old man

Now I'm a giant, got a son of my own

He's always tryin' to go everywhere I go

Do the best I can to raise him up the right way

Hopin' that he someday wants to be

Like his old man

My old man

I know one day, we'll meet again

As he's lookin' down

My old man

I hope he's proud of who I am

I'm tryin' to fill the boots

Of my old man

My old man
