Tyler Joe Miller - Hero To Me Lyrics

He was 22 in a hospital room
Just a boy without a clue
Holdin the hand of his best friend
Doin' what he's supposed to do
I came into the world that day
And his was forever changed
No time to blink, no time to slow down
I was comin' either way
For the first time
He saw his blue eyes

He was tall as the pines
He was a strong as a river flows
Planted a garden for a family to grow
He stood steady in the wind
When one and one made three
Mighta been a man to you
But he was a hero to me

I was 17 shaking like a leaf
With his truck bent round a tree
He said cars and boats, they come and go
I'm glad you're in one piece
Son you gotta slow down
And he showed me how

He was tall as the pines
He was a strong as a river flows
Planted a garden for a family to grow
He stood steady in the wind
When one and one made three
Mighta been a man to you
But he was a hero to me


When I was 25, two pink lines
Just a taring back at me
Ain't it funny how a dream can change
And shake you to one knee
I picked up the phone, I called home
And I hit em with the news
He just laughed and said well son
Here's all you gotta do

Be as tall as the pines
Be as strong as a river flows
Plant a little garden for your family to grow
Stand steady in the wind
When one and one make three
I might be your old man, but son
You're a hero to me
A hero to me
