My Ole' Man Lyrics

It's where I learned how to fish

It's where I learned how to fight

It's how I learned to dream

When he turned out the light

It's where I learned to build

And somewhat learned how to dance

It's how I learned to work

And be a gentleman of romance

I learned a lot from my ole' man

He always had a master plan

He knew someday he'd be gone

I've taken all the things that I've known

And passed them on to my own

And through his knowledge and this song

His memory lives on

I learned quite a bit

He has taught me through the years

He showed me many valuable things

Like the importance of facing your fears

And I know that if he were here right now

He'd spend his time trying to share

All the things that he has figured out

With compassion, love, and care

I learned a lot from my ole' man

He always had a master plan

He knew someday he'd be gone

I've taken all the things that I've known

And passed them on to my own

And through his knowledge and this song

His memory lives-

His memory lives on and on inside

Once you find it there's no where it can hide

It opens up your mind

It seems to slow down time

It's what we live for it's what we need to do

It keeps us going it helps to push us through

It helps to keep us true

And somehow it transforms you

He taught me to be patient

And speak up when need be

He told me to use my manners

And never ever forget chivalry

I learned a lot from my ole' man

He always had a master plan

He knew someday he'd be gone

I've taken all the things that I've known

And passed them on to my own

And through his knowledge and this song

His memory lives on

His memory lives on
