  • Someone to play catch with, out in the backyard
    To pick up the pieces of your first broken heart
    Someone to say slow down when you turn sixteen
    Yeah, I grew up without a dad
    I'm gonna be the best one I can be

    Someone to scare the monsters when it's dark in your room
    Someone to put their foot down when you want a tattoo
    And not just say I love you, but show you what it means
    Yeah, I grew up without a dad
    I'm gonna be the best one I can be

    They say dads are supposed to shape you, in a way I guess mine did
    I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid
    They say history repeats itself
    Well, I guess that's up to me
    Yeah, I grew up without a dad
    I'm gonna be the best one I can be

    Someone to let you fall down and teach you how to get back up
    And teach you how to be sweet like mama and how to be tough
    Yeah, I'll never be perfect, but sure as those lines are pink
    Yeah, I grew up without a dad
    I'm gonna be the best one I can be

    They say dads are supposed to shape you, in a way I guess mine did
    I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid
    They say history repeats itself
    Well, I guess that's up to me
    Yeah, I grew up without a dad
    I'm gonna be the best one I can be

    Mm, mm, mm

    Yeah, I can't change the past, but the past has sure changed me, mm-mm-mm
    Yeah, I grew up without a dad
    I'm gonna be the best one I can be
    I said I'm gonna be a dad and I'm gonna be the best one I can be

    The best one I can be
    Love you, baby girl Writer/s: Chase McGill, Kane Brown, Tom Douglas
