My old man, my superman

You showed me how to ride and how to fall

How to make a joke land, even if it’s small

From corny lines to your classic grin

You'd crack a pun and then you'd win

Taught me how to shoot a ball and sell a dream

Sing off-key to every song, no matter how it seemed

Taught me how to swim and how to ride

And how to hide cash from mom on the side

---

You tried your best, and man, you gave it all

Even when we had nothin’, you stood tall

With corny jokes and shoulders strong

You kept us laughing all along

Yeah, life was tough, but we made our stand

Thanks to my old man — still my Superman

---

You’d pick me up when the world felt mean

Cheered at my games like I was on a big screen

Carried me home when my legs gave way

And told me to keep fightin’ every day

You gave me your love for music and wheels

Pool tables, bowling lanes, and home-cooked meals

And even though we fought a time or two

I always knew I'd never stop lovin' you

---

You tried your best, and man, you gave it all

Even when we had nothin’, you stood tall

With dad jokes dry as desert sand

You made me laugh — yeah, that was the plan

We weathered storms, walked hand in hand

Thanks to my old man — still my Superman

---

And I know you’d cry if I said this face to face

So I’ll sing it here, just in case

Everything I am, I learned from you

You broke your back just to pull me through

---

You tried your best, and now I understand

What it means to be a real man

Through every high, and every low

You stayed, you showed me how to grow

You never left, you made a stand

That’s why you’ll always be...

Still my Superman
