The Last Man My Daddy Knew

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixteen and the summer sun was gold First boy that I ever brought back home My daddy grunted, looked the other way But he'd be the last good man he'd know someday [Chorus] Here's to the man who works with steady hands Tough as nails, but tender where he stands A love of God, of family and home Michael Price, you never walk alone [Verse 2] You went and lived a little wild and free I chased my faith across the seas But God, He brought us back around December vows, forever ground [Chorus] Here's to the man who works with steady hands Tough as nails, but tender where he stands A love of God, of family and home Michael Price, you never walk alone [Bridge] July fourteenth, that rose bush fell "Should've mowed it sooner," now don't he tell My daddy smiled, said "how soon, my son?" And knew that you were the faithful one [Verse 3] You built dreams with your own two hands Turning hard work into lasting plans Two daughters given, a papa's pride The best of men right by my side [Verse 4] Cold Coors nights and country tunes Steaks on the grill beneath the moon Fifty-three and still my song If you ain't laughing you ain't living long [Chorus] Here's to the man who works with steady hands Tough as nails, but tender where he stands A love of God, of family and home Michael, you never walk alone [Outro] Happy birthday, my faithful one Couldn't ask God for a better man I love you more than words can say Michael Price, this is your day
