Father’s Day makes me realize how much I miss my dad. I wrote “My Old Man” in honor of him. I’ve posted the words below and music video I filmed of me playing the song. Happy Father’s Day!
My Old Man – Original Father’s Day Song
Since I was a kid
I looked up to my old man
He always lent me
A helping hand
All I know is I miss
My old man
Taught me sports
How to throw a ball
Picked me up
Every time I’d fall
Win or lose, he loved me through it all
My old man
CHORUS
Taught me right from wrong
To be strong
How to be a man
Belief in G-d above
How to love
To be the best I can
He lived to see
My son share his name
And just about that time
The angels came
Now it’s up
To me to do the same
As my old man
CHORUS
Teach my son right from wrong
To be strong
How to be a man
Belief in G-d above
How to love
To be the best he can
Like my old man.
Like my dad was to me,
To my son I will be, My Old Man
