He was a giant

And I was just a kid

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

G# A#
Got a son of my own

He's always trying
G# A#
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

G#
My old man
D#
I know one day we'll meet again
A#
As he's looking down

My old man

I hope he's proud of who I am

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