There's a man who always stood right by me

Tall and proud and good when times were bad

To 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
