A Song For Duane

He had no one to show him how to be a dad Or a hand to help him up when times were bad No kisses good morning or stories at night The cards were stacked against him but he turned out alright He taught me what it meant to be a man Always had my back, my biggest fan Wouldn't let circumstances tell him who to be I hoped to mirror at least half the man who was always there for me He gave us all he had for work night and day But never missed a game, he always found a way From broke down trucks to a broken heart He'd be right there to fix what was wrecked or torn apart He taught me what it meant to be a man Always had my back, my biggest fan Wouldn't let circumstances tell him who to be I hoped to mirror at least half the man who was always there for me Well I know I got a mountain to climb And I'll follow the footprint you left behind The impressions are deep and clear to see They paved the path to the man I want to be He taught me what it meant to be a man Always had my back, my biggest fan Wouldn't let circumstances tell him who to be I hoped to mirror at least half the man who was always there for me Yeah, he was always there for me
