Intro: I knew a man a long long time But I never knew him at all Small in stature, big at heart Oh, he always stood tall From the time that he was born He had a style all his own In my mind he could do no wrong Misunderstood all along He worked hard all his life To get what he has today We would all be better off, if we could Hear those words that he had to say He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges ) Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (Oh, for you, for you) ( ) He took me by the hand And said son, what's your plan I won't stop you or stand in your way Someday you'll be a man I looked at him with hungry eyes That only youth can know With all his wisdom and all his years He said, I'll teach you all that you need to know He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you ( ) Don't stop now, keep moving Don't worry about where you're going, I'll hear you You'll feel me, I'm there no matter where you go Solo: He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (2x) ( )
