He doesn't fight crime or wear a cape

He doesn't read minds or levitate

But every time my world needs saving, he's my superman

Some folks don't believe in heroes 'cause they haven't met my dad



He loves his workshop and rock and roll

He's got a hot rod and a heart of gold

And you could say he's a man of few words, but he talks a lot within

And even though I'm a little taller, I still look up to him



He built me a house in the arms of a tree

He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see

That my dad's a hero to me



Rust-ridden fenders, and doors full of dings

Somehow he can fix about anything

I didn't think he knew how to cry till our dog died that year

He doesn't always say I love you, but I can hear him loud and clear



He built me a house in the arms of a tree

He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see

That my dad's a hero to me



He built me a house in the arms of a tree

He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see

That my dad's a hero to me



My dad's a hero to me

My dad's a hero to me
