Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I was just a little girl with tangled hair Barefoot running, didn’t have a care But behind those eyes was a world unsure Didn’t know what a father’s love was for Mama tried hard, but life was tough Then you walked in when times got rough Billy Ray Gibson, I still recall The day you showed up and changed it all Pre-Chorus You didn’t have to stay, didn’t have to try But you chose to love me like I was your own child Chorus Yeah, Billy Ray Gibson, you took my hand Showed a little girl how to understand What it means to trust, what it means to stay What it means when someone don’t walk away You wore boots you didn’t have to fill Loved me strong and you love me still Yeah, you gave me a heart that believes again You weren’t born my dad—but you became him Verse 2 You were there for every up and down Every lost tear, every small-town crown Taught me how to fight, how to stand my ground Even when the world tried to knock me down Pickup rides and those late-night talks Life lessons in every mile we walked You never let me feel alone You made that broken house a home Pre-Chorus Through every storm, you stayed right there A steady kind of love that’s rare Chorus Yeah, Billy Ray Gibson, you took my hand Showed a little girl how to understand What it means to trust, what it means to stay What it means when someone don’t walk away You wore boots you didn’t have to fill Loved me strong and you love me still Yeah, you gave me a heart that believes again You weren’t born my dad—but you became him Bridge Blood ain’t what makes a family tree It’s who shows up and never leaves And if I’m half the person I dream to be It’s ‘cause of what you gave to me Final Chorus Yeah, Billy Ray Gibson, you held me close Through every high and every low You were the answer I didn’t know I’d need The kind of love that plants a seed You wore boots you didn’t have to fill And you gave this life a stronger will Yeah, I’ll say it proud, I’ll say it loud You’re the man that made me proud Outro So here’s to the man who chose to stay Who gave his heart in every way Yeah, I may not share your name at birth But you’re my dad—that’s what you’re worth
