Man Like You (Dad) Lyrics by Orry Maine

I DO

2024

[Verse 1 ]
Three years old, Gulfport Mississippi
Splitting homes is never something pretty
And the child only understands none of this is easy
But in time he'll realize it was a choice to be happy
And he won't blame you anymore
[Chorus 1]
I know you're gone, but I believe
You're in a better place to be
I know you're watching over me
I hope you hear me when I sing
Oh, I know you're proud of me
'Cause I'm proud to be
The son of a man like you
[Verse 2]
I was fourteen whеn we both told the truth
In the living room
Of a sеcret we both shared that you held better than
I would ever try to
And I realize time was never kind
The fear behind your eyes was a look I'd recognize
And you knew I wouldn't know
The price for a normal life
But you refused to let me think
I was the product of a lie
And in that moment I knew
I was no longer afraid of you
[Chorus 2]
I know you're gone, but I believe
You're in a better place to be
I know you're watching over me
I hope you hear me when I sing
Oh, I know you're proud of me
'Cause I'm proud to be
The son of a man like you
[Bridge]
And I don't regret our time
I know we'll meet again when I
Lay my head to rest
In my Sunday best
Right there next to you on your left
'Till then I will cherish all the memories we made
If there's one thing I'd hope was clear on that day
Before it was too late
If you were afraid
Now you'll understand
You left me in good hands
[Chorus 3]
I know you're gone but I believe
You were the best dad you could be
I hope to follow in your lead
So one day I'll hear my son speak"Oh, I know you're proud of me
'Cause I'm proud to be
The son of a man like you"
And I know when God took you back
He said"Son, welcome home"
