[Verse 1]
There's a man who always stood right by me
Tall and proud and good when times were bad
Too much heart is the only fault that I see
This song's not for you, folks
It's for my dad

[Verse 2]
Always a partner, a playmate and a teacher
Ready with a joke when times were sad
And in my teens, sometimes he was a preacher
This song's not for you, folks
It's for my dad

[Bridge]
He always was a rock when I needed one
He gave me good advice when I needed some
I want you to know that when it's said and done
He's one of the best friends I ever had, I ever had
This song's not for you, folks
It's for my dad

[Outro]
He always was a rock when I needed one
He gave me good advice when I needed some
I want you to know that when it's said and done
He's one of the best friends I ever had, oh, I ever had
This song's not for you folks
It's for my dad
Of course I like you, folks
But I love my dad
