Lyrics

[Intro]
[Gentle acoustic guitar and pedal steel]
[Verse 1]
Last winter when the Johnson's barn came down
In that big storm that swept through our small town
Daddy drove out there at dawn without a word
Spent three days helping them rebuild what they had lost
Never asked for nothing, didn't count the cost
That's just the kind of man my daddy is
[Chorus]
He's got a heart that's bigger than the Georgia sky
Two strong hands and a "do or die"
When somebody needs help, he's first to give
That's just the kind of man my daddy is
[Verse 2]
Every Sunday after church without fail
He'd visit Mrs. Green, she's old and frail
Mow her lawn and fix whatever needed care
When I asked him why he spent his day off there
He said "Son, doing right ain't always fair"
That's just the kind of man my daddy is
[Chorus]
He's got a heart that's bigger than the Georgia sky
Two strong hands and a "do or die"
When somebody needs help, he's first to give
That's just the kind of man my daddy is
[Bridge]
Some folks chase fortune, some chase fame
But daddy taught me life's not a game
It's about the lives you touch along the way
And standing tall through rain or shine each day
[Verse 3]
Now I'm grown with children of my own
Trying to live up to the seeds he's sown
When my kids ask me who I want to be
I tell them 'bout their grandpa John, you see
'Cause there's no better example than he
That's just the kind of man my daddy is
[Chorus]
He's got a heart that's bigger than the Georgia sky
Two strong hands and a "do or die"
When somebody needs help, he's first to give
That's just the kind of man my daddy is
(That's just the kind of man)
That's just the kind of man my daddy is
