[Verse]
G
I remember my daddy driving down the road
We were going to our old fishing hole
D
Two man boat in the back of that truck
C
At 5 am I was still waking up
G
We rowed on the lake and baited our hooks
Watching those lines until they shook
D
In the cold morning air I began to see
C D G
This man I called Dad, was a hero to me
[Chorus]
D G
As a father now with my own seasoned eyes
D G
I don’t know if mine ever realized
Em D
That it wasn’t the money or material things
Cadd9
That made him the man that I want to be
D G
It was the time he spent with me
[Verse]
G
When I was 18 I joined the corps
Served my country on distant shores
D
I’d call back home from time to time
C
To say hello and I’m doing alright
G
We’d talk about home and family
How ed have to go fishing when I got leave
D
He’d say take good care and call back soon
C D G
I love you son, and I’m proud of you
[Chorus]
D G
As a father now with my own seasoned eyes
D G
I don’t know if mine ever realized
Em D
That it wasn’t the money or material things
Cadd9
That made him the man that I wanna be
D G
It was the times he said, he was proud of me
[Refrain]
D
In This Life You Only Get One Shot
Cadd9
To Make The Most With the Grace Of God
D
I Live My Life With Just One Wish
Cadd9
I Want To Be The Man
D G
That Taught His Son To Fish
[Chorus]
D G
As a father now with my own seasoned eyes
D G
I don’t know if mine ever realized
Em D
That it wasn’t the money or material things
Cadd9
That made him the man that I wanna be
D G
It was the times he said, he was proud of me
[Refrain]
D
In This Life You Only Get One Shot
Cadd9
To Make The Most With the Grace Of God
D
I Live My Life With Just One Wish
