[Verse]
I see your dad in the doorway tall
His shadow long on the kitchen wall
Your mom's got a stare like she knows it all
But I’ll win them over
Yeah I’ll stand tall
[Prechorus]
I'll shake his hand like a man should do
Say ma'am to her
Keep my words all true
[Chorus]
I’ll be the son in law
Yeah
The one they call
When the roof leaks
Or the big storms fall
I’ll show up in a tie
With my sleeves rolled high
For you
For them
I’ll never stall
I’ll be the son in law
[Verse 2]
They'll ask me questions
They'll test my steel
“What’s your plan
Boy
What’s the deal?”
I’ll look 'em in the eye
Say I’m here for real
For their daughter’s heart
My vow’s the seal
[Prechorus]
I'll mow their lawn
I’ll fix the door
Earn their trust
And then some more
[Chorus]
I’ll be the son in law
Yeah
The one they call
When the sink’s clogged or the engine stalls
I’ll toast at their feast
Be the family beast
For you
For them
I’ll give it my all
I’ll be the son in law
