	Story Behind the Song I've always wanted to write a song for my father..he is the one person that has always backed me up and understood how important my music is to me...I almost didn't get the chance when he was creamed at an intersection by some Yahoo that was out joy riding. I figured I'd better get off my tush and just do it! Lyrics If it Weren't For You I Wouldn't Be Me Verse 1: As I watch my children play Memories take me back To the days when I wore golden hair Grass stained jeans and cap Verse#2: You'd take me to your wrecking yard I was such a sight to see A little girl with pad and staple gun Marking tires NFG Chorus: You never raised your voice You never raised your hand You had the patience of a Saint You always seemed to understand You never put me through, the third degree If it weren't for you I wouldn't be me Verse#3: I remember in the summer One Sunday afternoon The Blue Jays and the Yankees Pre-empted my cartoons Verse#4: I flew into my bedroom Pulled out my old wool sack Packed my socks and piggy bank I was never coming back Chorus: You never raised your voice You never raised your hand You had the patience of a Saint You always seemed to understand You never put me through, the 3rd degree If it weren't for you I wouldn't be me Bridge: Remember when we danced with family circled round Tears ran down your cheek I whispered softly in your ear These words I tried to speak Chorus: (2x out) You never raised your voice You never raised your hand You had the patience of a Saint You always seemed to understand You never put me through, the 3rd degree If it weren't for you I wouldn't be me
