There's a man who always stood right by me Tall and proud and good when times were bad Too much heart, is the only fault that I see This song's not for you folks It's for my dad Always a partner, a playmate and a teacher Ready with a joke when times were sad And in my teens, sometimes he was a preacher This song's not for you folks It's for my dad He always was a rock when I needed one He gave me good advice when I needed some I want you to know that when It's said and done He's one of the best friends I ever had... I ever had This song's not for you folks It's for my dad He always was a rock when I needed one He gave me good advice when I needed some I want you to know that when It's said and done He's one of the best friends I ever had... oh, I ever had This song's not for you folks It's for my dad Of course I like you folks But I love my dad
