Lyrics

It Takes someone Special To Be A Dad

I told the old man behind the counter at the cigar store
My lady just had a baby boy
And I wanted to hand out smokes to everyone I'd meet
He said, Congratulations I've got a special here you see
Buy a handful of It's a boys, I'll give you one free
Here's a picture of my son, in his army uniform

Tried my best to teach him wrong from right
And be home most every night
Gave him good advice just like I'm giving you

Chorus:
Show him how to throw a punch
Raise him to always walk away
Teach him to respect his mama
Remember he's watchin you every day
It's the most fun you'll ever have
Yeah, any man can be a father
It takes someone special to be a dad

That old man's words sunk in, I about fell to my knees
I've got a mighty big job ahead of me
and I can't wait to take him fishing
Then he reached behind the counter and said this one's on me
They say it's Castro's favorite, not just Cuban seed
Just don't tell everyone, where you got it

Be his hero , be around
Teach him life has its ups and downs
Raising a man is a man's job

Repeat chorus x2
Any man can be a father
It takes someone special to be a dad
