D
Heywood was a daddy in 1942,
D
He couldn't read or make his letters,
G Cadd9
He said "Boy, I hope you don't do like I do,"
G D
That was my dad he was talking to
D
So my father grew up stronger, bigger dreams and bigger plans
D
The first to go to college
G Cadd9 G
But he can still work hard with his two hands
D
Thanks to his old man
D
Yeah he learned to throw a baseball
G
How to sail a fishing line
D
He learned about forgiveness
A
'Cause you just can't waste the time
Bm
And the circle goes unbroken
Cadd9
But there's so much left undone
G D/F# F
That's just how it is
D
Between a father and a son
verse 2:
D
I became a daddy at the age of 23
D
I didn't know what I was doing
D G Cadd9 G
Hell, my daddy wasn't through yet raising me
D
I felt lost at sea
D D
So I just kept it simple, took it one day at a time
D
And followed in the footsteps
G Cadd9 G
Of the men that came before me in my life
D
And we're doing just fine
Chorus:
