My Dad Lyrics

I never saw a tear drop come from my daddy's eyes

His Love and his compassion were never there when we lied

Spare the Rod and spoil the kid wasn't in his routine

But when we all got out of hand

He'd put his belt across our cheeks

So, he

Took us to the Mountains

And he took us to the Lake

He put us working in tobacco

Starting early and staying late

He taught us how to farm

And he taught us to shoot a gun

If we wanted love and compassion

We'd have to get it from our mom

I wish I knew back then what I know now

I try raise my kids to make him Proud

To be my dad

When my daddy took us hunting

Just my brothers and I

We would hunt in the early morning

Until the Sun was in the sky

We could track a deer across the snow

When it was under a mile

And sometimes we wouldn't see a thing

And my dad would crack a smile

So, he

Took us to the Mountains

And he took us to the Lake

He put us working in tobacco

Starting early and staying late

He taught us how to farm

And he taught us to shoot a gun

If we wanted love and compassion

We'd get it from our mom

I wish I knew back then what I know now

I try raise my kids to make him Proud

So, he

Took us to the Mountains

And he took us to the Lake

He put us working in tobacco

Starting early and staying late

He taught us how to farm

And he taught us to shoot a gun

If we wanted love and compassion

We'd get it from our mom

I wish I knew back then what I know now

I wish I knew back then what I know now

I try raise my kids to make him Proud

To be my dad
