HALF THE MAN - Eric L. West
(c) 2000 Eric L. West. All Rights Reserved. Used by permission.
Key of C#
Capo on 4th (Key of A)
Dominoes and bottled cokes, driving ‘round to sell sno cones,
The memories of all those childhood things.
The famous Popeye sketch and the poem from his truck,
Now I realize what it all means.
‘Cause a father gives his life in simple sacrifice,
To see his son become a child of God.
And when one role is done, the other’s just begun,
So Lord just make me half the man he was.
Cub scout days and soccer games, the smallest part in the 5th
grade play,
The memories of all those childhood things.
Cooking steaks out on the grill, pop flies hit to centerfield,
Now I realize what it all means.
Chorus
I could read the books and make it look like others who have
tried,
But the reality that I have seen is not so cut and dried.
Chorus
