Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He woke me up before the sun
With a work shirt on and a lesson begun
Said stand up straight when the wind cuts through
Boy, the world gets heavy, it leans on you
He showed me how to knot that rope
How to keep my cool and hold my hope
Hands rough as an old truck bed
But every hard word left me fed
[Pre-Chorus]
When I was bent, he set me right
When I was scared, he lit the night
Told me pain don't get the final say
Just keep on walking anyway
[Chorus]
Stand tall, son
Stand tall
Daddy made me steel
Out of cattle and dust and will
Stand tall, son
Stand tall
When the world comes hard
I know who I am
I was made by a man
[Verse 2]
Sunday boots by the back door
Creek water cold on a summer shore
He never said much, but I heard it clear
Work with your hands and have no fear
He taught me loss can leave a mark
But a strong back carries a broken heart
Now I look in the glass and I see
Every mile that got him in me
[Pre-Chorus]
When the road got steep and long
His old voice kept me moving on
Said hurt comes passing through
But it can't stay if you don't let it
[Chorus]
Stand tall, son
Stand tall
Daddy made me steel
Out of cattle and dust and will
Stand tall, son
Stand tall
When the world comes hard
I know who I am
I was made by a man
[Bridge]
And if I got a boy of my own
I'll pass that same hard love along
Say stand your ground, don't fold too fast
Be the kind of man that lasts
[Final Chorus]
Stand tall, son
Stand tall
Daddy made me steel
Out of cattle and dust and will
Stand tall, son
Stand tall
When the world comes hard
I know who I am
I was made by a man
