Sonny

You’d yell out our names just to catch the morning bus

Working every single day to provide for all of us

April, Patty, and Sonny Boy, we never went without

You kept clothes on our backs and put food in our mouths

You paid for our school trips and whatever we would do

Every life lesson we carry comes right back to you

Oh, Sonny, you're the rock of this family

Strong-willed and loving, the super dad we need

You’re an inspiration to everyone you know

Showing us the strength to keep on going down the road

Yeah, you taught us how to stand when the skies get gray

And how to love somebody in a pure and honest way

I still remember highway drives to see a picture show

Playing chicken with the passing cars, laughing as we'd go

Heading down to Lake Charles, you'd find the rolling hills

Taking our stomachs away just to give us all a thrill

You worked so hard but always found the time to make us smile

If it was in your power, you were there to go the extra mile

Oh, Sonny, you're the rock of this family

Strong-willed and loving, the super dad we need

You’re an inspiration to everyone you know

Showing us the strength to keep on going down the road

Yeah, you taught us how to stand when the skies get gray

And how to love somebody in a pure and honest way

When we lost Mom, our world was torn apart

But we saw the pure devotion living in your heart

Even after she was gone, when the afternoon rolled around

You’d still drive up to that Sonic in our little town

Getting her a large Dr. Pepper at happy hour every day

Showing us that true love never fades away

Oh, Sonny, you're the rock of this family

Strong-willed and loving, the super dad we need

You’re an inspiration to everyone you know

Showing us the strength to keep on going down the road

Thank you for the lessons, the laughter, and the tears

You’re the rock of our family, through all these years
