You Made Me What I Am Lyrics - Diffie Joe

You came home tired each day at 5: 15 

I'd be waitin' in the drive 

With a Rawlings glove, a ball cap and a fungo bat 

I could count on you to hit some flies 

You'd say, "Son, just keep your eye on the ball 

Know when to duck and when to swing" 

I guess you knew those rules you taught me then 

I'd carry with me to this day 

You made me what I am 

You turned this little boy into a man 

I count myself among the lucky 

Knowing just how much you loved me 

You'll always be my closest friend 

You made me what I am 

All decked out in a tux for the senior prom 

You said, "Son I'm proud and gave me a grin" 

Slipped me a twenty and the keys to the family car 

A couldn't sleep a wink 'till I got in 

At 21 I stepped out on my own 

Can't count the times I slipped and fell 

But you always kept your faith in me 

Even when I had none in myself 

You made me what I am 

You turned this little boy into a man 

I count myself among the lucky 

Knowing just how much you loved me 

You'll always be my closest friend 

You made me what I am 

I better go, it's almost dark 

I've rambled long enough 

I just came by to see the stone 

And tell you, Dad, I miss you so much 

You made me what I am 

You turned this little boy into a man 

I count myself among the lucky 

Knowing just how much you loved me 

You'll always be my closest friend 

You made me what I am 

You made me what I am
