Hero in a Stetson

[Verse] He wakes up with the roosters, he works from dawn 'til dusk, Hands stained with the soil, heart full of trust, In a small wooden house, dreams built just right, My dad, my hero, shining through the night. [Verse 2] He grew up on the hard side, never had much to eat, Shoes with holes, one room, and a cold drafty heat, But he promised us more, with a twinkle in his eye, Through sweat and tears, no dream is too high. [Chorus] Hero in a Stetson, standing tall and proud, A heart as big as Texas, voice strong and loud, He gave us all we needed, and so much more, A better life, a bright sun, and an open door. [Verse 3] Taught me how to fish, how to play his old guitar, We sang about hope, we wished on every star, Told me to be brave, to follow where I roam, But remember your roots, remember your home. [Verse 4] He's a man of few words, but every one rings true, A trusty old pickup, and work boots worn through, Every calloused hand has a hundred stories told, Of nights by the fire, and hearts pure as gold. [Chorus] Hero in a Stetson, standing tall and proud, A heart as big as Texas, voice strong and loud, He gave us all we needed, and so much more, A better life, a bright sun, and an open door.
