[00:09.492]He was 5 foot 8 inches*
[00:11.845]Good with his hands
[00:13.916]Left part of his childhood in Vietnam
[00:18.742]If you gave him hell he'd give it right back to you
[00:28.007]Upright and honest his collar was blue
[00:32.445]Could fix anything with a hand full of tools
[00:36.813]Probably the smartest man I ever knew
[00:46.180]He wasn't perfect he had his flaws
[00:50.533]I don't make excuses for the man he was
[00:57.078]He said work for a living and don't throw the first punch
[01:01.732]Say grace at the table and don't drink too much
[01:06.596]If you needed something he'd give you his shirt
[01:11.044]But you mess with his kids you're gonna get hurt that's a man
[01:27.125]I still remember my first big game
[01:31.633]I wanted to live up to my daddy's name
[01:36.134]When I missed that pass dad said
[01:39.356]Son I'm still proud of you
[01:45.496]That's all it took to dry up my tears
[01:49.902]A few words from dad that a boy needs to hear
[01:56.341]He said work for a living and don't throw the first punch
[02:00.852]Say grace at the table and don't drink too much
[02:05.806]If you needed something he'd give you his shirt
[02:10.163]But you mess with his kids you're gonna get hurt that's a man
[02:26.437]Two weeks ago we laid my dad in the ground
[02:36.092]The last thing he said was you're the man of the house.....now
[02:44.589]I work hard for a living I don't throw the first punch
[02:48.966]Say grace at my table and I don't drink too much
[02:53.732]If you're needing something I'd give you my shirt
[02:58.009]But you mess with my little boy somebody's gonna get hurt
[03:02.668]I'm 5 foot 8 inches my collar its blue
[03:07.169]And I do pretty well with a hand full of tools
[03:11.996]I'm trying my best to fill my daddy's shoes
[03:16.389]If you give me hell I'll give it right back to you
[03:22.837]If I could be half the man that he was that's good enough for me
