[00:00:00] American Idol - Dave Tough

[00:00:01] Written by：Dave Tough

[00:00:15] Daddy was a good man

[00:00:19] He taught me wrong from right

[00:00:22] Worked full time with his cancer

[00:00:25] Knowing God's grace would get us by

[00:00:29] When he'd come home from work

[00:00:31] He'd always set me on his knee

[00:00:35] He'd say

[00:00:36] Son love your country

[00:00:38] And protect your family

[00:00:43] He'd charged burning buildings

[00:00:45] Fought the war in '73

[00:00:49] And I knew from that day on

[00:00:52] He's who I wanted to be

[00:00:54] An American Idol

[00:00:58] Standing strong in his faith

[00:01:01] Don't need a million people

[00:01:05] To show him the way

[00:01:08] He can't dance like a pop star

[00:01:12] Can't sing a song in tune

[00:01:15] He's an American Idol

[00:01:20] Red white and blue

[00:01:22] For me and you

[00:01:27] Now mama's gone back to work

[00:01:30] The late shift every night

[00:01:34] Serving dinner to the locals

[00:01:36] With some coffee and her friendly smile

[00:01:41] Daddy's sickness came back strong

[00:01:44] And so did the bills

[00:01:48] And now every little tip

[00:01:50] Goes to paying for the pills

[00:01:54] She's dead on her feet

[00:01:57] But never looks for sympathy

[00:02:01] And to me she represents

[00:02:04] All I want to be

[00:02:06] An American Idol

[00:02:10] Stands up for what is right

[00:02:13] Don't need to hear the crowd roar

[00:02:17] In the bright spotlight

[00:02:20] She never dyed her hair

[00:02:23] No crazy tattoos

[00:02:27] She's an American Idol

[00:02:32] Red white and blue

[00:02:34] For me and you

[00:02:39] From up here on the stage

[00:02:42] Looking back at me back at me

[00:02:46] Are everyday American Idols

[00:02:51] Defining who I want to be

[00:02:56] You're an American Idol

[00:03:00] Stand up for what is right

[00:03:03] You don't need to hear the crowd roar

[00:03:06] In the bright spotlight

[00:03:10] Don't need to dye your hair

[00:03:13] Don't have to sing in tune

[00:03:17] To be American Idols

[00:03:22] Red white and blue

[00:03:24] For me and you

[00:03:31] An American Idol
