[F#] [C#]
[F#] My [C#] old man never claimed to be famous,
[F#] but everyone [C#] in town knows his name.
[F#] And people [C#] got their stories about my father, [F#]
from how hard he [G#] hit a ball [C#] to loading hay.
Some would say he works a little too long.
He grinds the day from sun up to sun down.
[F#] But he only [G#] gives his all [C#] so he could teach me [F#] when I fall,
what it takes to [C#] raise up something from the ground.
He was my hero in that [A#m] Pontiac [G#] Firefly car.
[C#] Through rain or sleet or snow, he'd come [A#m] no matter [G#] how far.
[C#] And there's lots of things he's done that [A#m] I'm sure he's [G#] not proud of.
[A#m] But from where I'm sitting, Dad, well, I'm [D#] proud to [C#] be your son.
[A#m] [G#] [Fm]
[F#] If you ask [C#] about his faith, he'd say Christian.
[D#m]
But he don't [C#] know everything.
[F#] So lately [C#] we've been talking about walking [F#] along with Jesus.
And what that [G#] truly [C#] means to live in freedom.

[A#m] Oh, [G#] I'm proud [C#] to be [F#] your son.
[C#]
[G#]
[C#] There's two things in this life that he holds dear.
[F#] Thank the [C#] Lord they've changed over the years.
[F#] The family [G#] farm, his children, [C#] and the love of a good woman.
[F#] And time [C#] is short, so love it, don't fear.
