He got her her first horse and told her to get back up and ride. He stopped her at the altar, handed her a tire iron, put on his badge and gun, and never once walked away. Spring Steel and Rawhide is a deeply personal tribute to the kind of father who chose you, loved you when you made it hard, and held every storm you brought him — quiet as rawhide, strong as spring steel, and the gentlest man she's ever known. - Original by Saddle Storms

Lyrics:

[Verse 1] Spring steel and rawhide In a world that bends and breaks You stood in front of me Through every storm and every mistake Never raised your voice When you had every right to roar Just pulled your cowboy hat down lower And loved me even more

[Verse 2] You got me my first horse Said get back up and ride Not for you but for the animal That needed love just like I did You stopped me at the altar Said you don't have to do this today Spring steel and rawhide Never once walked away

[Chorus] You had the hands and heart That held on when the storms broke the rest Every other man walked out the door You stood tall and passed every test You chose me when you didn't have to Loved me when I made it hard You were spring steel and rawhide And my superhero from the start

[Verse 3] You handed me a tire iron Said today you learn to fix what's broke Never heard I told you so From the most gentle man I've ever known You put on your badge and gun Made the whole world safe again Spring steel and rawhide My daddy and my best friend

[Verse 4] I didn't make it easy Lord I hope I made it worth it Every stubborn mile I rode You never said I wasn't perfect You saw me when I couldn't see myself You stayed when staying was hard Nobody else could hold these storms But you did from the start

[Chorus] You had the hands and heart That held on when the storms broke the rest Every other man walked out the door You stood tall and passed every test You chose me when you didn't have to Loved me when I made it hard You were spring steel and rawhide

[Outro - SPOKEN] And Daddy I see you I always did You were never just any man You were mine And I love you More than words could ever be told More than any song could hold Spring steel and rawhide My Daddy My heart My home
