Shoes to Fill
In first grade, I fell down in the driveway
Scraped my knee and dad ran out with a Band-Aid
Well, he sat down beside me, eye to eye there on the concrete
Just let me cry and wiped my tears away
At sixteen, I wrecked my first car
And I thought he'd be mad 'cause it was my fault
But he picked me up, dropped everything
And swore he wouldn't say a thing
Just let me cry and wiped my tears away
Yeah, he spent my whole life setting the bar
For the man who gets to have my heart
So if you wanna take the hand that he held first
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Baby, you got big shoes to fill
Spent two years betting my heart on someone
Who swore he'd never felt more in love
Well on the day he walked away, all his words lost their weight
But deep down I knew how it would end up
'Cause I know I'll know when love feels right
Since I've seen it in my father's eyes
If you wanna take the hand that he held first
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Baby, you got big shoes to fill
When it's time to give up my last name
Dear whoever standing in his place
If you wanna take the hand that he held first
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Baby, you got big shoes to fill
Scraped my knee and dad ran out with a Band-Aid
Well, he sat down beside me, eye to eye there on the concrete
Just let me cry and wiped my tears away
At sixteen, I wrecked my first car
And I thought he'd be mad 'cause it was my fault
But he picked me up, dropped everything
And swore he wouldn't say a thing
Just let me cry and wiped my tears away
Yeah, he spent my whole life setting the bar
For the man who gets to have my heart
So if you wanna take the hand that he held first
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Baby, you got big shoes to fill
Spent two years betting my heart on someone
Who swore he'd never felt more in love
Well on the day he walked away, all his words lost their weight
But deep down I knew how it would end up
'Cause I know I'll know when love feels right
Since I've seen it in my father's eyes
If you wanna take the hand that he held first
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Baby, you got big shoes to fill
When it's time to give up my last name
Dear whoever standing in his place
If you wanna take the hand that he held first
You have gotta be the man he shown me I deserve
And if you're gonna love me like nobody ever will
Baby, you got big shoes to fill
