Matt Stillwell Hey Dad song lyrics

His old hands were like leather

From working in the cold Carolina weather

Stringing 60 hour weeks together

for my momma, my brother, and me

He was old fashion, he was old school

American red, white, and blue

But to me he was just cool, the man I wanted to be

It ain't setting that he's really gone

I can call the number, still here in my phone

I'd say hey dad, it's me dad

Just wanted to tell ya that I miss you bad

He'd make me laugh like he always did

Before he said goodbye he'd leave me with this

Go on boy, be strong boy, don't you shed a tear for me boy

I had a good life, one hell of a run

It's alright I love you son

Hey dad

I'd tell him that his two grandbabies are turning into little ladies

And just like him they're a little crazy

I talk about him all the time

I'd let him know that me and my brothers are spending more time with one another

Momma says somedays are better than others

I think she's gonna be fine

Hey dad, it's me dad

Just wanted to tell you that I miss you bad

He'd make me laugh like he always did

Before he said goodbye he'd leave me with this

Go on boy, be strong boy, don't you shed a tear for me boy

I had a good life, one hell of a run

It's alright, I love you son

Hey dad

Go on boy, be strong boy, don't you shed a tear for me boy

I had a good life, one hell of a run

It's alright, I love you son

Hey dad
