Em7         D            G 
Look me in the eyes and tell me Im my fathers son 
Gsus4   Em                   D          G 
       Yeah, the bar's real high 'cause as far as I know, he's the best they come 
  G                                                    C 
Plenty ball games, hot Sundays, yeah, he never missed one 
G                    D               G                                   C 
He's got two little boys runnin' straight to the door when he came back home 
G       D 
    Footsteps in the sand, that's what I follow 
 C 
Will they lead me through all the things that come tomorrow? 
 

 
              C         G                C 
If I could be half the man my father is 
   Em             G     Csus2 
There's no doubt I'd be proud of it 
        Em7       D   G             Csus2 
And now I know who    I am, I'm the product of a real good man 
C            D   G      C         G                Em 
So, I'll do the best I can to be half the man my father is 
 

 
G   C  Em7                      G7                   G       Csus2 
   He barely raised his voice, but he taught me to stand real tall 
Em7                G                    C7  Csus2 
His actions led, didn't need many words at   all 
Em7                    G                      Csus2 
He dropped everything in a second when family calls 
Em7               G                 C    Csus2 
I pray my future kids know the kind of   love 
 

 
   Em               D   G            Csus2
