Dad Video (MV)

He has spent most of my life
With a guitar in his hand
The church, the square, Fourth of July
Gigging with his band
Writing songs for Jesus Christ
I was too young to understand
The only times I've seen him cry
Were singing about Him
I just wanna write music like my dad
A tune half as good as those
On his yellow notepad
A simple song that brings you peace
And comfort when you're sad
I just wanna write one like my dad
I have spent most of my days
Trying to write songs like him
Learning from all of the ways
That he'd change up classic hymns
Looking back I'm still amazed
By the artist my dad's been
I'm so thankful that he raised
Me to go like a skim
I just wanna write music like my dad
A tune half as good as those
On his yellow notepad
A simple song that brings you peace
And comfort when you're sad
I just wanna write one like my dad
Before I shared my toys
Before I could share my thoughts
We always shared a middle name
But there was more cut from that cloth
Now we share a love of Christ
And we share a love of song
So as I grow into a man
Pray that I'm becoming more like John
More like John
I just wanna write music like my dad
A tune half as good as those
On his yellow notepad
A simple song that brings you peace
And comfort when you're sad
I just wanna write one
I just wanna write music like my dad
A tune half as good as those
On his yellow notepad
A simple song that brings you peace
And comfort when you're sad
I just wanna write one like my dad
