F
He was a lion
A# C
We were our father's pride

But I was defiant
A# C
When he made me walk the line
Dm
He knew how to lift me up
F A#
And when to let me fall
A#m C
Looking back, he always had a plan
F
My old man
[Chorus]
A#
My old man
F
Feel the callus on his hands
C
And dusty overalls
A#
My old man
F
Now I finally understand
C
I have a lot to learn
F
From my old man

Like his old man

My old man

I know one day we'll meet again

My old man

of my old man
