Lyrics: | V1: He said to my daddy On the day my daddy died Gonna raise those kids like my own Gonna keep em by my side He said I know I aint a father And I’ve made a few mistakes But I’m gonna make you proud Of how those kids turn out one day CHORUS: To this day He’s been like a dad to me Helping me figure out who I’m supposed to be It’s plain to see If he wasn’t there for me I wouldn’t be where I am today Thanks Uncle Dave Thanks Uncle Dave V2: He said go easy on the bottle Cause you saw what that got me And save a dime on every dollar Cause you’re future isn’t free Hard work is the answer To a better life And if you treat her well She’s always gonna be right by your side BRIDGE: We both knew you can’t replace a father’s love But he helped me to find my strength when I was ready to give up So I never gave up |
