Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
My old man
