Talkin' to my old man
On the front porch swing
I ask him how he stole mama's heart
Tell me everything
It takes a lot of patience and a little bit of prayer
But don't give up son one day you'll get there
Hold her hand when she gets scared
When she's not ready I'm prepared
To do the things she needs
To feel the love from me
I'll hold her close when she gets cold
And hold her all night won't let go
Show her what she means to me
Loving her's been easy
One day my boy pulled up in that 85 Chevrolet I said what's the matter son
Why's your face looking that way
He said you know that girl that I walked home just the other week
Well today after school she kissed me on the cheek yeah
Hold her hand when she gets scared When she's not ready I'm prepared
To do the things she needs To feel the love from me
I'll hold her close when she gets cold And hold her on I won't let go
Show her what she means to me Loving her's been easy
Here comes my baby girl with the love of her life
She's been telling me since grade school
She can't wait to be a wife she told me
Daddy he's always patient does his best to understand
And the only time his hands come up is for another dance
Just like you he's close to Jesus Does the best that he can
And I thank God for you Daddy He used you to show me that I'm mad
Hold her hand when she gets scared When she's not ready he's prepared
To do the things she needs To feel the love from me
He holds me close when I get cold Holds me at night and won't let go
It's just like you told me it should be And loving him's been easy
It's been easy
Loving her's been easy
