That's My Dad lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman

That's my dad

Third from the left, second row

With a smile on his face and a hole in his heart

Where a dad of his own should go

And a hardworking mom raisin his big brother and him

The best way she knows

But he's gonna figure it out

Cause that's my dad

That's my dad

Kneeling underneath the old oak tree

Sayin' God you know I'm a mess

And that girl would be the best gift you could ever give me

Now he fixes cars, sings and picks a guitar

Does whatever it takes to get the ends to meet

Soft heart and calloused hands

That's my dad

I watched him make mistakes and I heard him say I'm sorry

And I watched him make a stranger feel like a good friend

And if you ask he'd be the first to say he's far from perfect

But still if you ask me who my hero's always been

That's my dad

That's my dad

That's my dad

Slowin' down a little bit

But his eyes still shine just as bright and kind as they ever did

And he calls me up just to say he loves me and ask me how I've been

And he'll say remember when and tell that story again

He's told me a hundred times and we'll laugh until we cry

Then he'll say I'll let ya go but before I do

Let me say a little prayer with you

And we'll talk to God and I'll remember how grateful I am

That's my dad

That's my dad
