The Man He Was

In the style of

George Jones

Lyrics

he always walked
like he was
in the country
his southern drawl
was as sweet
as honey

he hated biscuits
in a rolled-up can
that's the way
he was
my old man

he always loved my
mama's cookin'
he'd pat her butt
and sing
hey good-lookin'

now he's the reason
i'm the way i am
i remind myself
of my old man

he could
drink like a fish
smoked like a fiend
never got drunk
and never got mean

strong as an ox
worked like a dog
hard as a rock
and slept like a log

the only man
my mama
ever loved
hey that's my dad
and that's the man
he was

you never spoke back
to my father
he never
raised his voice
or had to holler

he'd tell us one time
and we'd understand
that's the way
he was
my old man

he loved his family
and he
helped his church
he hardly
ever missed
a day of work

god and country
and two
calloused hands
that's the way
he was
my old man

he could drink
like a fish
smoked like a fiend
never got drunk
and never got mean

strong as an ox
worked like a dog
hard as a rock
and slept like a log

the only man
my mama
ever loved
hey that's my dad
and that's the man
he was

the only man
my mama
ever loved
hey that's my dad
and that's the man
he was
hey hey hey hey
