Song about making dad proud

[Patriot2008]

I have been looking for a song for years now. I think it is about 5 years old, there was a version where he sings something like "everything I"ve ever done I hope I made my father proud". Something like that. I think the group was new wave or alternative.

Please help. It reminds me of my son and how he tries to please me. Thank you.

Try the following songs:

"To Make my Father Proud" by Michael Jackson
"That's Why" by Lil Irocc Williams
"How I'm Livin' Now" by Kane

[Patriot2008]

None of the 3 are the song I am looking for. I don't remember the lyrics all that well, but if I remember correctly it was about a guy that was successful in life but he was only out to please his dad or something like that.

It reminds me of my son.

Thank you for your help.

just a shot in the dark it may have been the mother that was proud.....ell Mama told me when I was young
Said sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
oh Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
You'll find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget that there is a someone,
up above. And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
oh Won't you do this for me son,
If you can? lynard skynard

He's No Hero"

It's another 6 am
As he stumbles in again
And the mother croes
'don't wake the children'
Through the tears I can hear him say
'didn't have much luck today'
But he really knows
He just threw it away

He finds he enters at the bottom of a bottle
And his life is always fully on a throttle
And he's slowly turning out just like his father
And he knows...

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stopped me from becoming
Another you

Daddy couldn't save himself
Noone ever cared to help
But he looked at me
As what he could have been
Now I know what I've got to be
Everything that'd make him proud of me
With my second chance
That he never had

Cause his dreams are at the bottom of his bottle
And he's never gonna be who he ougtha
And he's just a living image of his father
And he knows...

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stopped me from becoming
Another you

He did the road on which I'm running
It's like he already knew
He lived the pain that would be coming
And I'm proud to say that he is my father
And it's okay...

That he's no hero
But he's doing what he can
Trying to make me a better man
And he's no hero
But he made me what I am
Stopped me from becoming
Another you
