[Verse]
G
I remember my daddy driving down the roadWe were going to our old fishing hole
D Two man boat in the back of that truck C At 5 am I was still waking up G We rowed on the lake and baited our hooks
Watching those lines until they shook
D In the cold morning air I began to see C D G This man I called Dad, was a hero to me
[Chorus]
D G As a father now with my own seasoned eyes D G I don’t know if mine ever realized Em D That it wasn’t the money or material things Cadd9 That made him the man that I want to be D G It was the time he spent with me
[Verse]
G
When I was 18 I joined the corpsServed my country on distant shores
D I’d call back home from time to time C To say hello and I’m doing alright G We’d talk about home and family
How ed have to go fishing when I got leave
D He’d say take good care and call back soon C D G I love you son, and I’m proud of you
[Chorus]
D G As a father now with my own seasoned eyes D G I don’t know if mine ever realized Em D That it wasn’t the money or material things Cadd9 That made him the man that I wanna be D G It was the times he said, he was proud of me
[Refrain]
D In This Life You Only Get One Shot Cadd9 To Make The Most With the Grace Of God D I Live My Life With Just One Wish Cadd9 I Want To Be The Man D G That Taught His Son To Fish
[Chorus]
D G As a father now with my own seasoned eyes D G I don’t know if mine ever realized Em D That it wasn’t the money or material things Cadd9 That made him the man that I wanna be D G It was the times he said, he was proud of me
