81 years, still workin’ just the
same
In the fields everyday.
A man like that you don’t find
everywhere
He’ll turn his son into a man, and
he did right there.
VERSE 2:
The road we’re on, I think they
call it life
Everyday just trying to do it right.
It started in a blink of his eye
The moment it began, on their
ride.
CHORUS: (F/G/C – Am/G/C)
When he heard Papa for the first
time, it was over.
Baby blues, lookin up at him.
Took it to a whole other level
With an honest heart, and a hard
workin’ hand…
His job in life was to raise a
man….and he did.
VERSE 3:
The bond they share, well it
will never break
Strong as oak, still growin’
everyday.
He gave his son everything it
takes,
To turn him into the man he is
today. *(CHORUS)*
BRIDGE:
(Em/C/Em/C/Am/C/Am/D)
Nothin can take it away from them
40 years later and his boy’s still
lookin up to him
As his papa, his rock, he taught
him how to live…
He’s everything he hopes to be in
a man.
(BREAK)
(F/G/C – Am/G/C)
CHORUS:
When he heard Papa for the first
time, it was over.
Baby blues, lookin up at him.
Took it to a whole other level
With an honest heart, and a hard
workin’ hand…
His job in life was to raise a
man….and he did.
