Joe Diffie - You Made Me What I Am lyrics

You came home tired each day at 5:15 I'd be waitin' in the drive With a Rawlings glove, a ball cap and a fungo bat I could count on you to hit some flies You'd say, "Son, just keep your eye on the ball Know when to duck and when to swing" I guess you knew those rules you taught me then I'd carry with me to this day You made me what I am You turned this little boy into a man I count myself among the lucky Knowing just how much you loved me You'll always be my closest friend You made me what I am All decked out in a tux for the senior prom You said, "Son I'm proud and gave me a grin" Slipped me a twenty and the keys to the family car A couldn't sleep a wink 'till I got in At 21 I stepped out on my own Can't count the times I slipped and fell But you always kept your faith in me Even when I had none in myself You made me what I am You turned this little boy into a man I count myself among the lucky Knowing just how much you loved me You'll always be my closest friend You made me what I am I better go, it's almost dark I've rambled long enough I just came by to see the stone And tell you, Dad, I miss you so much You made me what I am You turned this little boy into a man I count myself among the lucky Knowing just how much you loved me You'll always be my closest friend You made me what I am You made me what I am
