What I Did Right Lyrics

I have my heroes, but no one knows their names
They never asked for recognition, they 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

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
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
What I did right

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"

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
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life

And 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

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

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
I'll take this one day and figure out what I did right
And I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life

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
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
