MAKE MY DADDY PROUD
(Written by: Rick Allan Lane)

Verse
My old man, he’s a tell it like he sees it 
No beatin’ around the bush 
No bull, no sugarcoat 
He’ll tell you what he’s thinkin’
Growin’ up, I don’t think he ever hit me 
But the tone he had in his voice 
And that stare was all it took 
To strike the fear of God in me 

Lift
But all I can say about that tough old man
He’s a heart of gold who gave me everything he had

Chorus
That man taught me what life is about
He’s been there whenever I fell down
From my first steps, to my first bike
He’s been there right by my side
To pick me up, or show me the way
I can see his grin as I peddled away
Without him around, God knows where I’d be right now
I hope I make my Daddy Proud

Verse
Barely sixteen when I had to call home
To say I ran off the road
With my Dad’s new car, I thought I was dead
And he came there right away
But he looked at me and he said with a smile
Son, cars can be replaced
But your loved ones can’t be
So I’m just glad that you’re okay

Lift
Then the time in high school when my first real love broke up
Like a friend he was there to help me pick those pieces up

Chorus
That man taught me what life is about 
He was there whenever I broke down 
In my first car, from my first heartbreak 
He knew just what to do or say 
To pick me up, or talk with me
That man, he can fix anything
Without him around, God knows where I’d be right now
I hope I make my Daddy Proud

Bridge
Proud of who I am
The man that I’ve become
The things I’ve done
Proud of his only son

Chorus
That man who taught me what life is about
He’s gettin’ older and a little slower now
And his hair is gray, but he’s still the same
That tough old man, he’ll never change
Without him around, God knows where I’d be right now
I hope I make my Daddy Proud
