Verse 1
           C        F             G
 He was a giant and I was just a kid

                C          F            G
 I was always trying to do everything he did

 Am                          C         F
 I can still remember every lesson he taught me

   Fm                        G              C
 Growing up learning how to be like my old man

 He was a lion, we were our father's pride

              C             F                G
 But I was defiant when he made me walk the line

 Am                              C          F
 He knew how to lift me up and when to let me fall

  Fm                             G           C
 Looking back, he always had a plan, my old man

         F                           C              G
 My old man, feel the callus on his hands and dusty overalls

         F          Fm            C
 My old man, now I finally understand

           G                        C
 I have a lot to learn from my old man

            C            F        G
 Now I'm a giant, got a son of my own

               C          F           G
 He's always trying to go everywhere I go

 Am                             C       F
 Do the best I can to raise him up the right way

 Fm                               G               C
 Hoping that he someday wants to be like his old man

 My old man, I hope he's proud of who I am

 I'm trying to fill the boots of my old man
