Verse 1
Used to be a young boy
Daddy taught me life
Taught me how to fish
And how to bag a wife, uhhuh
Used to be the best, at everything
But I guess time, was the underdog
Chorus
He showed me the way of life
Taught me pain, and showed me strife
Taught me how to be the best man I ever could be
Sure he was tough and sure he was stern
But if I done never learned
I'd never be built rough
Verse 2
He showed me how to drive stick
And Taught me how to play catch
Yeah he wasn't much a sportsman, hell
He reckons he Taught Inglis
How to scorrrre, a try
And I know I may never believed him
But one day I would've
Passed on them same damn lessons
To my little ones
He showed me the way of life
Taught me pain, and showed me strife
Taught me how to be the best man I ever could be
Sure he was tough and sure he was stern
But if I done never learned
I'd never be built rough
Yeah thanks to ma daddy, I know how to change a flat, know how to pray, and give thanks to God, felt closer to my saviour Jesus, and treat the bible like a gift
And it's crazy thinking it's all becaussssee
He showed me the way of life
Taught me pain, and showed me strife
Taught me how to be the best man I ever could be
Sure he was tough and sure he was stern
But if I done never learned
I'd never be built rough
Yeah ma daddy was tough, and he sure as hell was stern,
But you bet your bottom dollar,
If I done never learned
I'd never be built rough
