Half The Man

Growing up there wasn’t much my daddy couldn’t fix
If it wouldn’t work he’d make the old look new again
The house, the fence, the bike, the car
The little girl tears from a broken heart
Daddy set the bar real high
Showed me what a real man looks like
It’s gonna take one to fill those shoes
In his eyes nothing less will do
He’s gotta be a man of God
Keep it tied when he ties that knot
Lucky as a girl’s ever gonna get
To love a man that’s half the man that my daddy is
It’s never gonna fly if he’s the kind of guy that doesn’t fish
He better keep his word, ain’t afraid to work, and knows who he is
Strong with his hands, gentle with his touch
No such thing as loving me too much
Daddy set the bar real high
Showed me what a real man looks like
It’s gonna take one to fill those shoes
In his eyes nothing less will do
He’s gotta be a man of God
Keep it tied when he ties that knot
Lucky as a girl’s ever gonna get
To love a man that’s half the man that my daddy is
A man of few words, a man who leads
The man he is, is who he wants for me
Daddy set the bar real high
Showed me what a real man looks like
It’s gonna take one to fill those shoes
In his eyes nothing less will do
He’s gotta be a man of God
Keep it tied when he ties that knot
Lucky as a girl’s ever gonna get
To love a man that’s half the man that my daddy is
To find a man that’s half the man that my daddy is
