Kevin Myles Wilson - My Son lyrics

I wish I had a memory of my real dad But he died when I was one and all I've got is this gold chain But I don't feel sorry for myself 'cause I know that that won't help Take away the pain And my brother was 6 and maybe that explains why he's the way he is But my mom told me something that my brother said He said "Oh momma, please get us a new daddy" And that's exactly what she did And I can't imagine just how hard it must have been for him To join my family and step father two kids Because he didn't have to raise me and someday I hope to be Even half the man he is And I couldn't have asked for anyone to be a better dad Because he'd drag me out of bed everyday at 6am And he'd drive me to the rink and tie up my hockey skates And for that I must thank him And he taught me the rights and wrongs of treating your lady Like never show up late if she spends all day making you a nice dinner And when you get home from work, make sure that the first.. Thing you do is kiss her And I couldn't grow a beard 'til I left home And so I had to learn how to shave it on my own And I feel sorry for my dad because that is something that I feel sorry for my dad 'cause that's something that I'd like to teach my son I'd love to teach my son I can't wait to teach my son And sometimes I feel so bad because I don't say enough I love you dad
