My Old Man

He was a giant when I was just a kid
I was always trying to do everything he did
I could still remember every lesson he taught me
Growing up, learning how to be, like my old man

He was a lion, we were our father's pride
Well, 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 callus on his hand, 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 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

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, tryna fill the boot
Of my old man
