Be a Man

Broken bones and highway homes

Searching for something more than this

Sleepless nights and tired eyes

Dragging my feet while I get dressed

Now I don't mean to be complaining

This work's always gotten me through

I ain't giving up, just trying to find what

I'm supposed to hold onto

My knuckles are busted somethin' bad

And I ain't got the same back that I used to have

My head seems to have a constant ache

How much have I got left before I break

But I know I'll go as hard as I can

That's the only way I know to be a man

Hard drives and harder nights

Thinking of making my way back to you

Little towns and turnarounds

This map seems to have something to prove

Now I don't mean to be complaining

This work's always gotten me through

I ain't giving up, just trying to find what

I'm supposed to hold onto

My knuckles are busted somethin' bad

And I ain't got the same back that I used to have

My head seems to have a constant ache

I don't know how much I'm supposed to take

But I know I'll work as long as I can

That's the only way I know to be a man

Yeah I know I'll work as long as I can

That's the only way I know to be a man
