[Verse 1]
Dave in the driveway
ball in the net
Owen on the sideline
trying to flex
Hands on his hips
eyes on the rim
You taught him the hard way
how to stay in it
Strong on the outside
sharp on the inside
teach him to bounce back
teach him to try
Call him out clean
when the kid gets sloppy
then clap when he’s better
that’s dad energy, probably
[Pre-Chorus]
Friday night lights
and a worn-out ball
You don’t hand him gold
you make him stand tall
One more rep
one more lap
He learns the love
inside the snap
[Chorus]
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
Built from the grind
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
A father’s pride
Strong hands, smart mind
tough love, right on time
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
That’s your line
[Verse 2]
Father’s Day card
with a folded-up note
“Thanks for the push”
written in red and gold
You’re hard when it counts
not harsh for the fun
You know when to bench him
and when he should run
He misses a shot
you say “run it back”
He takes it personal
you bring him back
Not every lesson
comes wrapped in a bow
Some come from the whistle
and learning to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Sweat on the jersey
dust on the court
You’re building a man
with a firm report
One more bounce
one more pass
He’ll wear that lesson
like a badge
[Chorus]
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
Built from the grind
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
A father’s pride
Strong hands, smart mind
tough love, right on time
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
That’s your line
[Bridge]
Maybe the years moved
maybe the page turned
But every real lesson
is a fire well-learned
From the first dribble
to the final score
He knows what you mean
when you say “more”
[Chorus]
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
Built from the grind
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
A father’s pride
Strong hands, smart mind
tough love, right on time
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
That’s your line
[Outro]
So here’s to the coach
and the kid in the lane
Here’s to the bond
that still holds the frame
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
Father’s Day shine
Dave and Owen
Dave and Owen
One of a kind
