I got my training from my father-in-law My own dad never did anything I learned to hold a hammer and strike a nail And that I could build anything I learned to be a man From the man he was I learned to care for family And cherish those I love Father-in-law Not my blood Father-in-law The dad I love Father-in law Kind and caring Built a life A life worth sharing I gained a lot of wisdom from that man He didn’t talk that much But watching him at home Was really more than enough I learned to be a man From the man he was I learned to care for family And cherish those I love Father-in-law Not my blood Father-in-law The dad I love Father-in law Kind and caring Built a life A life worth sharing He’s old and fragile now But still the man I knew He now asks me for help And there is nothing I wouldn’t do Father-in-law Not my blood Father-in-law The dad I love Father-in law Kind and caring Built a life A life worth sharing I learned to be a man From the man he was I learned to care for family And cherish those I love Father-in-law Not my blood Father-in-law The dad I love Father-in law Kind and caring Built a life A life worth sharing
