His memory survives/ My hero

My dad he was my hero.

He was a hell of a guy.

Taught me don’t be a quitter.

Said, life ain’t no easy ride.

I lost my hero when dad died

But his memory survives.

Thru good times and thru tough times

My dad is by my side.

I lost my hero when dad died

But his memory survives.

He said, life is like fishing.

Some days are good, some are bad.

He said, son keep on fishing.

They’re the best days you’ll have.

I lost my hero when dad died

But his memory survives.

Thru good times and thru tough times

My dad is by my side.

I lost my hero when dad died

But his memory survives.

He said, love’s like a garden.

You have to tend it with care.

Weed it, it will feed you.

Will teach you how to share.

Whenever I’m down I remember

What he always used to say.

He’d say you have to persevere.

Tomorrow’s another day.

Chorus

I lost my hero when dad died

But his memory survives.

Thru good times and thru tough times

My dad is by my side.

I lost my hero when dad died

But his memory survives.
