[Verse]
I remember those words from long ago,
Daddy's voice in the twilight glow.
He'd say, "Son, life ain't just good times,
You'll find wisdom in the slow and the climb."

[Verse 2]
He talked 'bout hard work and honest gains,
And how love ain't a fair-weather game.
But I was young, thought I knew it all,
Now I see how much pride precedes a fall.

[Chorus]
Now I'm a man, with lines on my face,
Wishin' I had listened, saved some grace.
Daddy's wisdom, echoing through the years,
In every joy, every sweat, and all my tears.

[Verse 3]
He'd tell me, "Son, don't chase shiny dreams,
True gold is found in simpler things."
I rolled my eyes, chased the sun,
Didn't know what he meant till the race was run.

[Verse 4]
Now the fields he's plowed, the roots he's grown,
Feel like lessons fully shown.
Late nights and tire swings have their say,
And I'm learnin' the hard way.

[Chorus]
Now I'm a man, with lines on my face,
Wishin' I had listened, saved some grace.
Daddy's wisdom, echoing through the years,
In every joy, every sweat, and all my tears.
