[Verse 1]
He never hit me with his fists
But he did some damage with his words
My old man didn't know no better
Just passed down what he thought worked
I tried and tried to break his pride
And be the apple of his eye
And maybe I was loved
But he never let me know I was

[Chorus]
Making my father proud
Looks a whole lot different now
It ain't about the man that I call dad
Who I could never figure out
It's about knowin' who's son I really am
And knowin' He's my biggest fan
It's a kind a love that makes my world revolvе around
Making my Father proud

[Verse 2]
Got a long road of live and learns
In thе rear view of my life
But somewhere in the crash and burns
And those wrong turns, I saw the light
He kissed my face, I felt His grace
He said, "My child, you found your place"
I fell down on my knees
I looked up and I could see
[Chorus]
Making my father proud
Looks a whole lot different now
Ain't about the man that I call dad
Who I could never figure out
It's about knowin' who's son I really am
And knowin' He's my biggest fan
It's a kind a love that makes my world revolve around
Making my Father proud
Making my Father proud, oh, oh

[Bridge]
Me and my old man finally settled old scores
'Cause pleasin' this world just don't matter no more
Now all I'm livin' for is

[Chorus]
Making my father proud, oh, oh
It ain't about the man that I call dad
Who I could never figure out
It's about knowin' who's son I really am
And knowin' He's my biggest fan
It's a kind a love that makes my world revolve around
Making my Father proud
Making my Father proud
Yeah, that's what life's about
