My Old Man

He was a giant When I was just a kid I was always trying To do everything he did I can 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 But 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 callous on his hands 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 I'm trying to fill the boot of my old man My old man --- My Old Man - Zac Brown Band
