His Father's Son Lyrics

(Harley Allen; Keith B. Brown)

Someone asked me �bout the live I had
I thought about it and I said �My Dad�
I learned to play guitar from my old man
He�s the reason that I�m who I am
If he�d been a gambler I�d be on the Vegas trip
If he�d been a rambler I�d be on a plane or ship
If he�d been a salesman I�d be somewhere selling cars
If he�d been a drinker I�d be sitting in a bar
Even Jesus looked up to someone
Cause a boy will always be
His father�s son

Every young boy I knew as a kid
Wanted to do what daddy did
Be a big or small or good or bad
Daddy�s footsteps is a young boy�s path
If he�d been a preacher I�d be somewhere saving souls
If he�d been a teacher I�d be in a school I know
If he�d been a joker I�d be making people laugh
If he�d been a soldier I�d be walking through Baghdad
Even Jesus looked up to someone
Cause a boy will always be
His father�s son

So dads choose wisely what it is you do
Cause there is someone looking up to you
Girl�ll get husband and he�s gonna love his wife
If you have no other then he�ll be home every night
You support your family he�s gonna have a job
If you took him to church the grandkids will no doubt
Cause even Jesus looked up to someone
And a boy will always be
His father�s son
