Story behind the song
A tribute to my dad..
Lyrics
A FATHER LIKE YOU- c 2005 Gary Bigelow When I was a child, people would ask me What I'd like to be when I grow to be a man ? Back then it was easy I gave them my answer, I spoke in all honesty.. said "I'm gonna be a fireman" When I was a teen and so indistructable. There was no kind of trouble I couldn't escape. Had all the answers to all of life's questions "Gonna rule this planet " , I said, "just you wait" My oh, my how priorities do change From whence they started ...to where they sit today. Older and wiser, Simple yet true All that I want now, if I could choose Is to be the kind of father.... a father just like you. Twenties and Thirties were over in a flash. I'm now in my Forties how quickly time has passed Got a job settled down, bought a house and have two kids Tryin' to make ends meet , just like you and Mom did. CHORUS I still have that dream of striking it rich See, I'd still like spoil that wife and those two crazy kids. Buy a Mercedes Benz , But in all Gods truth I'd forfit it all ... If I could be half as good you.
