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

But I was defiant

When he made me walk the line

He knew how to lift me up

And when to let me fall
C#m D#
Looking back, he always had a plan
G#
My old man
[Chorus]
C#
My old man
G#
Feel the callus on his hands
D#
And dusty overalls
C#
My old man

Now I finally understand
D#
I have a lot to learn
G#
From my old man

My old man

I know one day we'll meet again

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