My Father's Son

Up before the sun every single day

He gave me a home and gave me my name

He'd sing Robert Earl and Sweet Baby James

He built a life on amazing grace

I was born to break every single rule

With a reckless heart, sometimes a fool

I was hell to raise but he kept his cool

Showed me love will always follow through

I can see it all in his weathered eyes

Full of strength and love and of sacrifice

Oh I've spent my days living on the run

But now I know that I'm my father's son

Got steady job he's a steady man

And over thirty years with wedding band

I bet a wild child wasn't in his plans

But every part of him's apart of who I am

I can see it all in his weathered eyes

Full of strength and love and of sacrifice

Oh I've spent my days living on the run

But now I know that I'm my father's son

Ya I know that I'm my father's son

There no monuments built in his name

No magazines that will spread his fame

But when a good man lives, he leaves a wake

And in a thousand years it will still remain

I can see it all in his weathered eyes

Full of strength and love and of sacrifice

Oh I've spent my days living on the run

But now I know that I'm my father's son

Ya I know that I'm my father's son

No matter where I may have run

Oh I'm proud to be my father's son
