Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were up before the sunrise
Coffee in a chipped old mug
Hands all cracked from one more long week
Still you’d pull me in and hug
You taught me how to throw a fastball
How to stand up when I fall
You said
“You don’t have to be the toughest
Just show up and give your all”
[Chorus]
So thanks for being you
Dad
For every quiet thing you do
Dad
All the miles you drove
All the “you’ll be fine” that pulled me through
I don’t say it like I should
But you turned my bad to good
I get the best of me
From the best of you
So thanks for being you
[Verse 2]
You were there up in the bleachers
Soaking in the freezing rain
Shouting louder than the home crowd
When I barely touched the game
You never tried to live right through me
You just stood there by my side
Saying
“Kid
Your worth ain’t on that scoreboard
It’s in how you live your life”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I used to roll my eyes
At every speech you’d give
Now I hear your voice
In the way I live
If I’m half the man
They say I am someday
I’ll know who showed me
The better way
[Chorus]
