It's For My Dad

There's a man who always stood right by me 
  Tall and proud and good when times were bad 
  To much heart, is the only fault that I see 
  This song's not for you folks 
  It's for my dad 

  Always a partner, a playmate and a teacher 
  Ready with a joke when times were sad 
  And in my teens, sometimes he was a preacher 
  This song's not for you folks 
  It's for my dad 

  He always was a rock when I needed one 
  He gave me good advice when I needed some 
  I want you to know that when It's said and done 
  He's one of the best friends I ever had...  I ever had 
  This song's not for you folks 
  It's for my dad 

  He always was a rock when I needed one 
  He gave me good advice when I needed some 
  I want you to know that when It's said and done 
  He's one of the best friends I ever had...  oh, I ever had 
  This song's not for you folks 
  It's for my dad 
  Of course I like you folks 
  But I love my dad
