B
He was a lion
E F#
We were our father's pride

But I was defiant

When he made me walk the line
G#m
He knew how to lift me up

And when to let me fall
Em F#
Looking back, he always had a plan
B
My old man
[Chorus]
E
My old man
B
Feel the callus on his hands

And dusty overalls

My old man

Now I finally understand

I have a lot to learn
B
From my old man

of my old man
