Shane Grenert - Papa Lyrics

He taught me how to bait a hook
He always read the good book
Always wore white sneakers and jeans
In his truck had prayer beads
He'd always come home with some beer
Always yelled "Pat come here"
Told me he was lucky to find my nana
My papa

Every summer he's take me to the River
Just to fish, talk about whatever
That all changed when I was thirteen
When God took him from me

He was like a second dad
Taught me good from bad
Stayed with him every weekend
He was my best friend
Taught me if I'm gonna talk the talk
I sure as hell better walk the walk
He taught me it all
Papa

It was always John Wayne movies
My mom said were too much for me
Said when I was a teenager
We'd watch them together
But too soon he left this world
But all these songs he's probably heard
Looking down through those clouds
Proud of who I am now

He was like a second dad
Taught me good from bad
Stayed with him every weekend
He was my best friend
Taught me if I'm gonna talk the talk
I sure as hell better walk the walk
He taught me it all
Papa

He was like a second dad
Taught me good from bad
Stayed with him every weekend
He was my best friend
Taught me if I'm gonna talk the talk
I sure as hell better walk the walk
He taught me it all
I know you're up there driving trucks
And I can't see you soon enough
Papa
