"Better Dad" lyrics

I'm not gonna lie
I'm gonna try and try and try 'til I get it right
Wake up early, stay up late
Make every recital and every game
I'll bait the hook, throw the ball
Be the hands that catch 'em when the fall
I'm gonna try and try and try 'til I get it right

I could be Superman
Hang the moon
Do more than most ever do
Go the extra mile
Just to make 'em smile
They can count on me for that
But no matter how good at it I get
I can't beat the one I had
The one that God gave me
Yeah he'll always be
The better dad

He was always there
When he was home
He was never too tired
Though he worked his fingers to the bone
To make sure we had nothing to worry about
He brought mama roses, he lit candles
He always handled the too hard to handle
So well
If I could be half of that myself

I'd be Superman
I'd hang the moon,
Do more than most ever do
Go the extra mile just to make 'em smile
They can count on me for that
But no matter how good at it I get
I can't beat the one I had
The one that God gave me
Yeah he'll always be
The better dad

Yeah the better dad
I'll forever be trying to fill his boots
But there'll always be a little room

Yeah I could be Superman
Hang the moon
Do more than most ever do
Go the extra mile
Just to make 'em smile
They can count on me for that
But no matter how good at it I get
I can't beat the one I had
The one that God gave me
Yeah he'll always be
The better dad
Yeah the better dad
