I don't know why I like him, I just only know I do
  I don't know why I trust him, I just know his heart is true
  I don't know why he's more a man than any man I know
  I don't know how I know the man's for real but I still know
  The man is more than what meets the eye
  He is worn and weary from life
  He is rugged but he's got style
  The man has got what matters inside
  
  Weary, yes he must get weary but he doesn't say
  But you can read between the lines that wind along his face
  The man has got his memories that he hides inside his mind
  And you can see the sadness in the eyes they hide behind
  
  The man is more than what meets the eye
  He is worn and weary from life
  He is rugged but he's got style
  The man has got what matters inside
  
  Love him, yes I've always loved him and I always will
  He holds a place in my heart no one else could ever fill
  He's always been my hero, the best friend I've ever had
  The man is something special and I'm proud that he's my dad
  
  The man is more than what meets the eye
  He is worn and weary from life
  He is rugged but he's got style
  The man has got what matters inside
