    My dad died in 2014. I had just lost my daughter. The day before he passed, we took our bikes and had a cruise to get the wind blow through us. When things went bad he always found ways to show that he related to me and my issue, but knew he would always be there for me. Now that he has passed, I don't know if I could ever be a fraction of the man he was, but know that I still do my best to make him.proud of me.

    He didn’t have much
    A pair of hard working hands
    Everything that I needed
    I got it from the old man
    With a nine second dream
    He drove the Redlight Bandit
    And the grease on his hands
    Was the way he commanded
    And the life he demanded
    It kept us all in a struggle
    When he ruled with his fist
    It kept us all out of trouble
    Even though he would leave
    He wore his heart on his sleeve
    And by the way that he walked
    He taught me how to believe
    Old man look at my life
    Take a look, take a look
    Old man look at my life
    cause I’m a lot like you
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    Take a look, take a look
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    cause I’m a lot like you
    Growin’ up at the track
    He had a reason for being fast
    His heart felt like breaking
    He’d look right up at the ceiling and
    Start again, never breathe a word of his loss
    Cause it’s not about winning
    It’s the rivers you cross
    And the pain that you feel
    Could be the fuel that you use
    And if you’re in need of direction
    Be it the path that you choose
    My old man is a legend
    He cast a shadow so great
    I think of how he is watchin’
    With every move that I make
    Old man look at my life
    Take a look, take a look
    Old man look at my life
    cause I’m a lot like you
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    Take a look, take a look
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    cause I’m a lot like you
    Now there’s no slowin’ down
    There’s only settin’ the pace
    No more dreams to be stolen
    Just the right ones to chase
    You’ve been through the worst
    Now you know who to trust
    Leave them something behind
    Before the ashes and dust
    Old man look at my life
    Old man look at my life
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    cause I’m a lot like you
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    cause I’m a lot like you
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    Take a look, take a look
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    cause I’m a lot like you
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    Take a look, take a look
    Old man, old man take a look at my life
    cause I’m a lot like you

    Thank you Dad for teaching me, the importance of making your word matter and try best to always keep your word as real as possible with the amount of knowledge you have at the time, and man enough to admit your wrongs, and brave enough to see through the BS, call it out if necessary, and in the end let God take care of fools, because you have children who love you, just as you loved me growing up. And Dad I found your journals so you would forget about me, and along with the help of your Grandchildren, even a ex son in law, who still needed a Dad to look up too, and a talk from someone who you must have respected there words, because before you went home to Heaven this last year, they brought you back to me, so I could tell I'm proud to have you as my Dad, and we should them that with forgiveness and trying to do the things, Love and Faith will always find its way back to you, with faith as little as mustard seed, God knows our hearts, and he knew he had a son he could be of in you, Dad. RIP please take care of your Grandson for me up in Heaven until we meet Again. Thank you for being my BFF and my Dad. You shall missed but never forgotten. Love always your Daughter

    @mamabear8729 2 года назад +1

    I lost my Dad yesterday and he had always been the most hard worker man I had the pleasure of knowing and who raised his daughter to get back up and fight, and live your not being some sheep, instead be a Wolf if needed and make your matter, cause in the end it's all about living by example, no matter how many times we got it wrong, all that matters is the one time we got it right and should the Grandchildren that Faith is real, may need help with getting the right words out sometimes, but if a person looks for them, most of what we want or should say can be find in a song or two, just have follow the signs. I will miss dad until we meet up in Heaven, but you shall never be forgotten, your legacy will on through your Grandchildren and myself, please give Caleb a hug and kiss from his mama bear for me. I love you forever xx

    My old man is 79 years old. I'm a few weeks away from 57. When I was 17, I hated that he'd come home from work and fall asleep reading the local paper. Now, I wish I could do the same. What goes around comes around. He was certainly a hard working man. And me and my brother deserved what we got from him. We never lost a red light race. None of us. Dad's garage was filled with trophies we never spoke about. Bragging was for pussies. I love you pops. I wish I could be just like you.

      Leslie, he's become my fourth child. I tell him everyday. Just wish I could have said it to him when it mattered most- around his friends, brothers, and family. The old f*cker floors every new care I drive, makes me rewire and paint every old car he picks up, and talks shop about things we've discussed repeatedly over the years. His glory days.

      I never heard this song ever played (in Houston) I was listening to a vinnie paz/ Prozak station on pandora, and this played. It hooked me. Hits hard, hits home, it's got a "tactile" sense to it, it grooves, and you feel the weight and texture of the music, and lyrics. Like a fucking blanket, draped and heavy, full of old scars, and stains, but it's beautiful, and has memory.

    A song like this sure reminds me of just how much I miss my old man. Taken too soon due to cancer. Just glad he was able to teach me as much as he did. Money cant buy what he was able to do. Everyday I try to follow his footsteps and be even half the man he was.

It reminds me of my daddy from head to toe, he use to race motorcycles and he didn't/ don't take shit off of anyone ( I'm a fighter also, I don't think twice before I start throwing punches ) I'm a huge daddy's girl still at the age of 47. PLEASE don't get me wrong I love my momma just like I love my daddy. I told my momma that when it's daddy's time to go that I want this song played at his funeral, IF I'm still around ( I'm battling colon and pancreas cancer ) Even thou I've been married for 14 years, my daddy is my number one man. I can't and don't want to imagine life without him, momma, or my daughter.

This is on par with what the band Cake did with war pigs when it remade that black sabbath classic! Ya should do yourself a favor and check it out if you've never heard it! You'll be blown away for sure!! Both are outstanding remakes, 2 of the absolute best I've ever heard!

Really though... What the Hell did girls have to do with any of that? And you really are in no place to judge me because you don't actually know me. In reality I am probably more respectful to women than a majority of the guys my age and I'm also loyal to anyone who is decent enough to earn my respect. Try getting to know someone first. You might just have a different opinion of them. G'night man.
