Steady Northern Star

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a kind of man who shows up every day Lunch pail in his hand, leads his family the right way Quiet kind of strong, steady as the sun Giving all he's got till the work is done [Chorus] Here's to the dads who pour out all they are Who light the way home like a steady northern star Hands rough from the work, heart soft as can be Matt, you're the love that holds this family [Verse 2] Dusty old ball cap, clipboard in your hand Coaching little leaguers, teaching boys to stand Those diamond-lit evenings, the cheers from the stands Best years of your life with sand in your hands [Chorus] Here's to the dads who pour out all they are Who light the way home like a steady northern star Hands rough from the work, heart soft as can be Matt, you're the love that holds this family [Bridge] The boys grew up, hung the cleats on the wall But you're still their coach, still answer when they call Twenty-five years, you've been my steady ground The truest love I ever found [Verse 3] Yeah, you follow the rules, color in the lines But that's the kind of heart that stands the test of time Reliable and good, generous and true Everything we have, we owe to you [Chorus] Here's to the dads who pour out all they are Who light the way home like a steady northern star Hands rough from the work, heart soft as can be Matt, you're the love that holds this family [Outro] So here's to you, my love, on this Father's Day The greatest dad and man, in every single way
