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.
