my dad was a good man, a hardworking man, he provided, for his family the best that he can, but the biggest flaw that my dad had was when he got mad he had those heavy hands,,,[guitar] I grew up thinking it was me,,,but now it's easy to see, that it was his dad's eyes I was seeing behind his hands,,,, I tell myself that he tried like hell to be a better dad,,, than the dad he had who had those heavy hands. [Chorus]] When you grow up with a dad who has those heavy hands,, and a temper just as bad, that always gets out of hand,, it might be sad,, and you might not understand,,, but he was actually trying to be better than his dad,,, that had those heavy hands. [ Verse 2]] not much good in this man, but im a hardworking man, i provide, for my family the best i can,,, [guitar] The thing that im most proud of as a dad, when I got mad I never used those heavy hands...[guitar],,, now I see through my dad's eyes , but I remember the hurt and the crys, it took every thing i had, but i broke the traits of my old man, so my kids never had to grow up with a dad who had,, those heavy hands. [Chorus] When you grow up with a dad that has those heavy hands, and a temper just as bad that always gets out of hand, it might be sad and you dont understand, but now I know my dad was better than the dad he had that had,,,, "those heavy hands"......
