[Verse 1]
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
---
[Chorus]
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
---
[Verse 2]
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
---
[Chorus]
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
---
[Bridge]
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
---
[Final Chorus]
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
