Song for My Dad
Lyrics
One day, long ago
A young boy was glad
He looked at his Papa and said
"One day I wanna be like you dad"
His sweat running down his brow
Every penny that he fought
He stared at his boy an said
"God, I hope not."
The boy's Pa worked the dairy
He worked out in the field
Came home with little money
It was all he could yield
But we never went hungry
No we had Christmas every year
And he made me feel so safe
Every time he was near
A man like you
Was on an old cross
A man like you
Knows total loss
A man like you
Has a boy like me
To look up at you
And wish he could be
A man like you
(A man like you)
Now I'm grown and got me
A boy just like I was then
A generation of people
Of good and loyal men
Got me a family to look after
And Lord know I try
I just try to be the man
That I can look you in the eye
A man like you
Was on an old cross
A man like you
Knows total loss
A man like you
Has a boy like me
To look up at you
And wish he could be
A man like you
(A man like you)
Someday our days will be gone
And no one will remember this old song
But a boy will look up again
At a man like you
(A man like you)
A man like you
Was on an old cross
A man like you
Knows total loss
A man like you
Has a boy like me
To look up at you
And wish he could be
A man like you
(A man like you)
