Did you hear, was you, what you said, [F] was you deep in profoundly disappointed [A] when you [Bb] didn't make that team?
The Detroit Lions?
I was, I was disappointed to tears.
Let me tell you, I'm gonna tell you why you said, you know why you didn't make it one thing?
Let me use assets to pray for you.
That's one time I didn't pray for you.
I won't tell you why because I didn't want them to break you up.
And [Cm] the only thing I could see and visualize, my boy, [Ab] on the stretch of the first time somebody hit you,
you came, you out.
[A] And then when you told me when you trained with them, [Ab] somewhat, they found they hit out the little bit, naturally.
[N] Eastern Michigan?
Tough bunch of guys, [A] we [Ab] hit every day.
You hit [F] them good, didn't you?
You didn't see anybody lighting up on you?
Well, [Gb] I didn't get hurt, you know, just a normal bump.
But you can get hurt, you know, but I feel like football is a strange sport.
I can play football, I don't, if I can get in shape, which I'm probably too old now,
but if I were not too old to play, I have the mentality to play football, I know I do,
because, [Ab] you know, whatever, whatever [Am] deficiencies you [F] may have as an athlete on a football field,
if you use your brains along [Gb] with your ability, [E] you can generally negate.
Like, [A]
if a guy's stronger than you, if you're a little quicker, then you can negate his strength somewhere.
[Ab] It goes like that, [Bb] so, you know, I have the mentality to really [Ebm] play the game, that's why I never [B] really got hurt.
But I could have [Ab] played.
I never get to that station where [D] you were, I was tickled,
[A] enough to tell me goodbye.
[C] And I went to your goodbyes, you gave [N] me the little dad.
You went to me for a period of, I [Ab] guess, a little hardship, which is a part of a person,
to bring them up and a part of their, you know, build them up.
[D] And finally, when you [F] first put out your first record scene to me, I was surprised along the way.
I said, here's a dream come true.
I had a lot of dreams about you.
[A] And after a year, you're doing the very thing that you told me you would.
[Ab]
I'll never forget that picture, you getting in that car.
You'd be surprised the feeling that parents have when they see their children leaving,
going out in the world, not [G] knowing.
And in those [Ab] days, you know, July the Nakedness was prevalent all over the nation.
And we understand we can get this feeling, oh, I hope you don't go anywhere and get into trouble.
So we had to live with that.
And by you,
[Gm]
[F]
as long as I know you have a [G] humble mind upstairs,
you can call on him [N] and respect the people.
I thank you a really wonderful person.
I almost, I'm gonna give that to you as my son.
And I'm proud of you, really am.
[Cm] This is a song about a beautiful little girl.
[F] A girl I love.
We're gonna go loud.
[Dm] We're singing for you.
[E] Let's go.
Here we go.
