Lyrics
Old cowboy boots, resting by the firelight
Snow's falling soft on a quiet winter night
He leans back in his old armchair, smell of pinewood dancing in the air
He smiles as he hands her a stick and says, Hold it close, but not too close to the red
Marshmallow melting, sugar on her hands, while he starts talking about the far-off lands
Trails he rode where the wild winds blow, stories carved deep in the dust he knows
Pa, you're stronger than Superman, braver than a cowboy in a desert sand
Your lasso stories will never end, Pa, you're my hero and my best friend
Yeah, Pa, you're stronger than Superman
He tells her about nights under endless stars
Camping with mustangs and sleeping near the bars
Of canyon walls glowing red at dawn, riding 'til the shadows were nearly gone
How he saved a stray colt in a thunderstorm, wrapped his coat around it just to keep it warm
Her eyes grow wide at every tale, marshmallow dripping like a comet's tail
He laughs low, says, Darling, times were tough
But every hardship made me strong enough
Pa, you're stronger than Superman, braver than a cowboy in a desert sand
Your lasso stories will never end, Pa, you're my hero and my best friend
Yeah, Pa, you're stronger than Superman
Fire crackles loud like hooves on stone, and she leans on him like he's carved from bone
He wipes a tear, it didn't feel false, says"Sweetheart, you're the greatest treasure of all"
Little girl, Pa, you're stronger than Superman
Only 'cause I got you holding my hand
Together we'll ride these memories again and again
Cause love makes heroes out of old men
Pa, you're stronger than Superman
Pa, you're stronger than Superman
