Steven Curtis Chapman - That's My Dad Lyrics

That's my dad Third from the left, second row With a smile on his face and a hole in his heart Where a dad of his own should go And a hardworking mom raisin his big brother and him The best way she knows But he's gonna figure it out Cause that's my dad

That's my dad Kneeling underneath the old oak tree Sayin' God you know I'm a mess And that girl would be the best gift you could ever give me Now he fixes cars, sings and picks a guitar Does whatever it takes to get the ends to meet Soft heart and calloused hands That's my dad

I watched him make mistakes and I heard him say I'm sorry And I watched him make a stranger feel like a good friend And if you ask he'd be the first to say he's far from perfect But still if you ask me who my hero's always been

That's my dad That's my dad

That's my dad Slowin' down a little bit But his eyes still shine just as bright and kind as they ever did And he calls me up just to say he loves me and ask me how I've been And he'll say remember when and tell that story again He's told me a hundred times and we'll laugh until we cry Then he'll say I'll let ya go but before I do Let me say a little prayer with you And we'll talk to God and I'll remember how grateful I am That's my dad That's my dad
