What I Did Right Songtext
"What I Did Right" by Sons of the Desert (Drew Womack/Sonny LeMaire)
1st Verse
I have my heroes, but no one knows their names
They never asked for recognition, they've never wanted fame
My Granddad fought the second World War
When he was just eighteen
He spent four months as a prisoner
To give me the American dream
In my eyes, he's everything, all I hope to be
And I won't forget that day he said he was proud of me
Chorus
(So) I'll take that one day and figure out what I did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
(Yeah) I'll take that one day and figure out what I did right
(So) I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
(What I did right)
2nd Verse
I have my good friends, they have a place inside my heart
But my best friend, well, she holds the biggest part
She finds the good in me
She knows just what it takes
And she loves the man in me
Through all of my mistakes
In my eyes she's everything, everything to me
And I won't forget that day she said
'You're all I need, you're all I need'
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
And as I hold my newborn baby
To give her comfort while she cries
In this moment I feel helpless
'Til she looks into my eyes
Her tears subside
Tag Chorus
I'll take this one day and figure out what I did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
(Yeah) I'll take this one day and figure out what I did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
(Chorus Out)
