Lyrics
He?d a had more money if I weren?t around
He?d a had more time to spend just hangin out
He?d had less heartache God knows what I put him through
Lord help me pay my father back what?s due
Help me be strong and hold a family together
Help me stand firm when a storm needs weathered
Help me understand why this world holds so much bad
But most of all help me be like my dad
He was big and strong and gentle as could be
He was one I didn?t want mad at me
He told me things that went right through my head
And now I understand every word he said
Help me be strong and hold a family together
Help me stand firm when a storm needs weathered
Help me understand why this world holds so much bad
But most of all help me be like my dad
most of all help me
most of all help me
most of all help me be like my dad
