Think of the one who's always been there

Maybe it's you when life ain't fair

Maybe your dad your brother your friend

The man who stands even when his world ends

He fell in love she took his hand

They made their vows and made their plans

Built a home raised kids together

To him those vows meant forever

The one who shows up every chance he can

Celebrate the family man

When life falls hard he still takes a stand

Raise your glass to the family man

Then one day the whole floor gave way

Lawyers split homes divided days

She calls the shots and changes the game

He takes the hit but shields the kids from blame

The one who shows up every chance he can

Celebrate the family man

When life falls hard he still takes a stand

Raise your glass to the family man

When hell came down he held his ground

Kept love alive when life broke down

He chose his kids again and again

That's the measure of a family man

He hurts like hell but he is finding his way

Those vows still mean what they did that day

He wears the scars but keeps them his

He won't hand that pain down to his kids

The one who shows up every chance he can

Celebrate the family man

When life falls hard he still takes a stand

Raise your glass to the family man

Here's to every true family man
