Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
I was raised on a gravel road,
In a little white house where the cold wind blew,
Daddy worked from dawn till dark,
With worn out boots and a heart so true.
He’d say, “Son, keep your word,
Shake a hand and look ‘em in the eye,”
Now I hear those old front porch talks
Every time that whistle train rolls by.
[Chorus]
‘Cause my daddy taught me how to stand,
How to work this dirt with these rough hands,
How to love a woman and pray at night,
How to hold on strong when life ain’t right.
And even though he’s gone today,
There ain’t a sunrise that fades away
Without me hearing his voice softly—
In every mile of country road beneath me.
Yeah, I’m the man I’ll always be
Because of what my daddy taught me.
[Verse 2]
He taught me how to bait a hook,
And how to drive that old Ford straight,
How to bow my head before a meal,
And never leave a friend in pain.
The day we laid him in the ground,
Felt like half my soul went down too,
But I still feel him riding shotgun
When I’m rolling underneath that moon.
[Chorus]
‘Cause my daddy taught me how to stand,
How to work this dirt with these rough hands,
How to love a woman and pray at night,
How to hold on strong when life ain’t right.
And even though he’s gone today,
There ain’t a sunrise that fades away
Without me hearing his voice softly—
In every mile of country road beneath me.
Yeah, I’m the man I’ll always be
Because of what my daddy taught me.
[Bridge]
Sometimes I still reach for that phone,
Just to hear him say, “Boy, come on home,”
But heaven needed a country soul,
One that was worth more than gold.
[Chorus]
Yeah, my daddy taught me how to fight,
How to keep my faith through the darkest nights,
And when my time on earth is through,
I hope I turn out half like you.
And when my own son asks about me,
I’ll pass down every memory—
Of an old country man who made me strong,
Even now that he’s long gone.
Yeah, his name still lives in me…
Through everything my daddy taught me.
[Outro]
Every worn boot print, every hammer blow,
Lives in the hands I’ve come to know,
And through the dirt, the sweat, the tears—
His lessons carry me through the years.
