[Verse 1] I got his hands, same rough trace. Same hard stare in my young face. He taught me work before the dawn. Taught me to stand when fear comes on. [Pre-Chorus] And when I bend, I hear him say, “Hold your ground, find your way.” [Chorus] I am my father’s son I am my father’s son Same old blood, same old run I am my father’s son (Oh, I am) (Your father’s son) [Verse 2] His old boots sit by the back door. Creased and scarred like the years before. I learned my name from his old words. What he carried is what I learned. [Pre-Chorus] And when I fall, I feel that hand, Lifting me up, making me stand. [Chorus] I am my father’s son I am my father’s son Same old blood, same old run I am my father’s son (Oh, I am) (Your father’s son) [Bridge] Maybe I’ll stray, maybe I’ll roam, But every road brings me home. In my chest, in my bones, I keep the fire he once owned. [Final Chorus] I am my father’s son I am my father’s son Same old blood, same old run I am my father’s son (Oh, I am) (Your father’s son) (Oh, I am) (Your father’s son)
