Lyrics

Since I was a kid
I looked up to my old man
He always lent me
A helping hand
All I know is I miss
My old man

Taught me sports
How to throw a ball
Picked me up
Every time I'd fall
Win or lose, he loved me through it all
My old man

CHORUS
Taught me (Teach my son) right from wrong
To be strong
How to be a man
Belief in God above
How to love
To be the best I (he) can
Like my old man

He lived to see
My son share his name
And just about that time
The angels came
Now it's up
To me to do the same
As my old man

Like my daddy was to me,
To my son, I will be My Old Man
