You're not like other men
They chase the world, you search your soul
Yeah, you search your soul
You're strolling through the woods
While they're all speeding down the road
Searching for gold

Sitting down is easy
You taught me how to stand
And ain't no use in building
When you're living on the sand

You taught me how to be a man
You taught me how to a treat a girl
You taught me how to love a stranger
You taught me how to change the world
And that happiness cannot be bought or sold
Thank you dad for showing me the road
You're a hero

You're not like other men
They lend a buck, you give a hand
Everyone's a friend
Most men are filled with pride
And rarely look up at the sky
And wonder why

Sitting down is easy
You taught me how to stand
Ain't no use in building
When you're living on the sand

You taught me how to be a man
You taught me how to a treat a girl
You taught me how to love a stranger
You taught me how to change the world
And that happiness cannot be bought or sold
Thank you dad for showing me the road

Father, I'm all grown up now
I need you to trust me
You taught me well
But now it's time for me to find my own way

You taught me how to be a man
You taught me how to a treat a girl
You taught me how to love a stranger
You taught me how to change the world
And that happiness cannot be bought or sold
Thank you dad for showing me the road
You're a hero
You're a hero
You're my hero
