Lyrics
TO MAKE MY FATHER PROUD
by Randy Bishop (ASCAP) ©2012, Rokit Music
My dad's been gone now for 15 years
And I talk to him everyday
He never answers my questions
But that's okay
'Cause I already know exactly what he'd say
Don't spend all your time workin' out in the barn
On that old junk heap that resembles a car
Her rusty old frame and tattered seats
Are the kind of things that'll keep
You've got a family to feed
And children to raise
More important things to do
Than rebuildin' that old Chevy coupe
That I started on with you
Way back in '92
Chorus:
There's no greater power on earth
Than a son's love
For a father who's gone but lives in my heart every day
So no matter how long it takes for me
To turn this thing around you see
I will work as hard as can be
To make my father proud of me
Well the years have passed
And the kids have grown
And I'm finally done with my task
So I'm rollin' that car out of the barn
With a shine as smooth as glass
As she glistens in the light
I feel my father's warmth
With every ray of the sun
And I know that he's surely beaming down at me
For doing a job well done
And I hope he's proud of his son
