Learning

I remember growin' up

Ridin' shotgun in my daddy's truck

He let me take the wheel every now and then

And I was learning to be a man

We drive down to the Wilson's pond

With rod and reels and little George Jones

And he made a cast and let me pull them in

And I was learning, learning to be a man

It takes a man to teach a man

I thank the Lord for His guiding hand

And I'm learning, learning to be a man

And I left home when I was 17

Headed up north to Tennessee

He said boy, you ain't nothing without a drink

Now I understand, I was learning to be a man

It takes a man to teach a man

I thank the Lord for His guiding hand

I'm learning, learning to be a man

With every passin' day, I find a way but I'm still gettin' old

Gotta fix it when it's broken or when it's time to fold but

Lovin' ain't ever wrong

And it takes a man to teach a man

I thank the Lord for His guiding hand

And I'm learning, learning to be a man

Him and mom started fallin' apart

She left him with a hole in his heart

He said son, someday you'll understand

You'll be learning like I'm learning

Yes, I'm learning like he's learning

To be a man

It's a man

Yes, I'm learning, learning

Yes, I'm learning, hey

Learning, learning

Learning, learning

Learning, learning
