He was a giant

And I was just a kid

Growing up learning how to be

      C   (C2) 
He was a lion 
     F              G 
We were our father's pride 
          C    (C2) 
But I was defiant 
    F                 G 
When he made me walk the line 
Am 
He knew how to lift me up 
     C            F 
And when to let me fall 
  Fm                         G 
Looking back, he always had a plan

My old man

And dusty overalls

I have a lot to learn

From my old man

Now I'm a giant

Got a son of my own
