[Verse 1] My father said, “Son, be a good man, Work hard, work smart, do all that you can. Be wise…be honest…be kind and true, The world will respect the man in you.” Save your money, invest with care, Build your future, be ready and prepared. Keep yourself clean, dress neat and bright, Walk with courage, always do right. [Chorus] My father said Be a good man My father said Keep your name Work hard, work smart Be wise and true My father said I’m counting on you (counting on you) [Verse 2] No smoke…no drugs..,no harmful way, Protect your health each passing day. No cheating, no lying, keep your name, Trust and respect are greater than fame. Choose good friends who help you grow, Choose a good woman with a heart that glows. A smart, kind wife by your side, Can bring you love, joy, and pride. [Chorus] My father said Be a good man My father said Keep your name Work hard, work smart Be wise and true My father said I’m counting on you (counting on you) [Bridge] Stay humble…stay strong…never forget, The best man is the one with no regret. Become the best man you can be, Live with honor and dignity. [Final Chorus] My father said Be a good man My father said Keep your name Wherever you go Whatever you do My father said His love follows you (follows you) My father said, Become the best man you can be.” “My love will follow wherever you go, Through every high and every low. Make good choices, live with pride, These are the words I leave by your side.”
