He was a giant when I was just a kid I was always trying to do everything he did I could still remember every lesson he taught me Growing up, learning how to be, like my old man He was a lion, we were our father's pride Well, I was defiant when he made me walk the line He knew how to lift me up and when to let me fall Looking back, he always had a plan, my old man My old man, feel the callus on his hand, and dusty overalls My old man, now I finally understand, I have a lot to learn From my old man Now I'm a giant, got a son of my own He's always trying 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 My old man, I know one day we'll meet again, as he's looking down My old man, I hope he's proud of who I am, tryna fill the boot Of my old man
