My Old Man Lyrics
I don’t know why, he kept a lot inside
The words he chose were simple and wise
Took pride in my steps like they were his own
When my world was heavy he’d share the load
He gave his word, he saw it through
Just something that he felt he had to do
He’d leave for work before the sun broke the dawn
Day after day his whole life long
I was too young, I was too blind
To truly understand
The things he’d done in troubled times
That we might have a chance
What we don’t have we don’t miss he’d say
But if you’re in need, we’ll find a way
My old man
He didn’t always do things right
Still he did all he could
When I look back upon his life
I only see the good
He always thought I was stubborn as a rule
Funny thing, I thought he was too
My old man, my old man
Sometimes you just have to deal with it
Lift your head and carry on
This isn’t much, it’s just a song
Just simple words to say so long
To you, my old man
The words he chose were simple and wise
Took pride in my steps like they were his own
When my world was heavy he’d share the load
Just something that he felt he had to do
He’d leave for work before the sun broke the dawn
Day after day his whole life long
To truly understand
The things he’d done in troubled times
That we might have a chance
But if you’re in need, we’ll find a way
My old man
Still he did all he could
When I look back upon his life
I only see the good
Funny thing, I thought he was too
My old man, my old man
Lift your head and carry on
This isn’t much, it’s just a song
Just simple words to say so long
To you, my old man
