I was just a kid with my mom down at the doctor’s,
I fell off my bike and took it on the chin
My dad was working so I was sure he wouldn't be there
I said Dad, you're here, as he walked in and said,

Where else would I be, if not here with you
Cuz boy when you’re hurt, I’m hurting too
When you’ve fallen down, when there’s something you need
Well that’s why I’m here and boy I’m right here
Where else would I be?

And we restored a Ford GT, 'til I wrapped it 'round a tree
I didn't want my dad to see me, in that hospital bed
I said dad I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed, he said it's just a car kid,
I could care less,
You're what matters most to me

So, where else would I be, if not here with you
Cuz boy when you hurt, I’m hurting too
Whenever you’re down when there’s something you need
Well that’s why I’m here and boy I’m right here
Where else would I be?

Now it ain't been that long since he's been gone
Sometimes I miss him so much it hurts
That's when I take my dad at his word.

He said, Where else would I be, if not here with you
Cuz boy when you hurt, I’m hurting too
Whenever you’re down, when there’s something you need
Well that’s why I’m here

Where else would I be, if not here with you
There’s no one that loves you boy more than I do
Just being your dad that’s like heaven to me
And that’s why I’m here and boy I’m right here
Where else would I be?
You’re like heaven to me
Where else would I be?
