but he's coming after my family and
This song is about my dad and how God has been chasing him down, too
but also knowing that
we have an earthly father here, but we also [F#] have a heavenly father and and
the song is just really powerful and I
wrote it with a man named Casey Bethard who lost his son here in Nashville a few years back and
Jonathan Smith and
Basically God had put a father
who had lost his son and
A son who had missed his father in the same room and the song is called proud
[G]
[Bm] He never hit me with his fist
But he did [C] some damage with his [G] words my old man didn't know no better
[C] Just passed down what he thought [G] worked
I tried and tried to break [C] his pride and be the apple of [Em] his eye
And maybe I was loved [C] but he never let me know I was
[G] Making my father proud

Making my father proud.
I [B] got a long [G] road to live and learns [C] in the rearview of my life
[Bm] Somewhere in the crash and burns and those [C] wrong turns.

[Bm] He kissed my face.
I felt his grace.
[G] He said my child you found your place [Em] and I fell down on my knees
I [C] looked up and I could see I'm making [G] my father proud
Looks a whole lot different now

Making my father proud
[C] Making [G] my father proud
[A] Me [Am] and my old man [G] finally settled [D] old scores
[Am] Cuz three years in this world [G] just don't [D] matter no
Now [C]
[G] all I'm living for is making my father proud
[Bm] [G] It [Em] ain't about the man that I called dad [C] who I can never figure out
