Everything I Am Is You
Dad... Sixty today. Two jobs, one car that barely ran, and you never once complained. I didn't even know we were short — you made sure of that. Happy birthday, Pop. [Verse] You worked the early shift, then worked the late one too Same coat every winter so we'd have new shoes You drove that hooptie like it was a Cadillac Said "we don't quit in this house" — and you never did [Chorus] Dad, look what you did You went without so we could have it all I made it out, but I made it on your back And everything I am is you (happy birthday, Pop) [Verse] You came to my games still smelling like the job Fell asleep at the table, woke up, went again You never said "I love you" — you said "did you eat?" And I finally hear it for what it always was [Bridge] I used to want the things the other kids had Now all I want is to make you proud you held on [Final Chorus] Dad, look at us You went without so we could have it all I made it out, and I came back for you And everything I am is you (happy birthday, Pop)
