This video is a tribute to all the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who have shaped our lives with their love, strength, and quiet wisdom. ~ He was a good man, worked hard all his life Handed down so many things, like wrong from right He taught me at his workbench what I couldn't learn in school Now I'm in the real world with my father's tools I can still hear the one-liners he'd repeat Always at the perfect time, he'd never miss a beat Keep your blade sharp son, clear away the dust Always measure twice before you make the cut Level plum and square - meant to stand for years and years Straight as a rule - with my father's tools He's here I swear - when I'm working out there There's always something to do with my father's tools He wore coveralls, plaid shirt and boots I wear a neck tie, shiny shoes and suits And our jobs couldn't be different with a different set of rules But I use a handshake and my father's tools Level plum and square - meant to stand for years and years Straight as a rule - with my father's tools He's here I swear - when I'm working out there There's always something to do with my father's tools I look forward to the weekends, just to feel them in my hands They always help me clear my head, before Monday comes again One day I'll hand them down the best way I know We're all just passing through this world that's how it goes But something that we leave behind can last a long time If we build it right upon the ground up to the sky Level plum and square - meant to stand for years and years Straight as a rule - with my father's tools He's here I swear - when I'm working out there There's always something to do Level plum and square - meant to stand for years and years Straight as a rule - with my father's tools Straight as a rule
