HE WAS A WHITE PICKUP COVERED IN DIRT 
CALLUSED HANDS GREASE ON HIS SHIRT 
LUNCH PALE AND A HARD DAYS WORK 
AND I CAN STILL SMELL THAT DIESEL TODAY 
HE WAS BUICK LE SABRE PEARL SNAP SHIRT 
DARK SUNGLASSES AND HERE’S THE PERK 
A RADIO DJ WAS HIS WORK 
AND I STILL HEAR THEM RECORDS TODAY
 
THEY SHOWED ME JESUS BY LIVIN THEIR LIFE 
THEY RAISED ME UP AND RAISED ME RIGHT 
I RAISED MY RIGHT HAND AND SWORE TO FIGHT
LIKE THEY DID
ONE NAVY BLUE ONE ARMY GREEN 
I FOLLOWED IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS AT JUST EIGHTEEN 
THEY LEFT A BIG IMPRESSION ON ME AS A KID 
THAT’S WHAT MY TWO DADS DID 
 
WELL I CLIMBED THE RANKS PRETTY DANG FAST 
WORKIN HARD AND KICKIN ASS 
AND I THANK GOD AND MY TWO DADS 
FOR SHOWIN ME THE WAY 
NOW I GOT TWO KIDS OF MY OWN 
THEY SAY DON’T CUZ THEY’LL BE GROWN 
TRYIN TO TEACH EM RIGHT FROM WRONG 
JUST LIKE MY TWO DADS DID
