He was a giant

[Verse 2]
E
He was a lion
A B
We were our father's pride
E
But I was defiant
A B
When he made me walk the line
C#m
He knew how to lift me up
E A
And when to let me fall
Am B
Looking back, he always had a plan
E
My old man
[Chorus]
A
My old man
E
Feel the callus on his hands
B
And dusty overalls
A
My old man
E
Now I finally understand
B
I have a lot to learn
E
From my old man

To go everywhere I go

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

Hoping that he someday wants to be
E
Like his old man

A
My old man
E
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

I'm trying to fill the boot
E
of my old man
