Take It Like A Man

She took the dog and my old six string

Took her Cherokee down Sycamore Street

Didn't use a blinker or tap them brakes

Her pretty middle finger was a goodbye wave

Now that girl's gone

I could break down or saddle up and be strong

And take it like a man with a little hurt on him

Heartbreak ain't gonna break your heart

Daddy always said, "Rub a little dirt on it"

Wash it on down downtown at the bar

Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice

Stay here and drink all night like Merle

Take it like a man that just lost his girl

I could throw a pity party with the man in the mirror

But that ain't never got no man nowhere

Or throw on my boots and my pearl snap shirt

I could be a boy about missing her, or I could

Take it like a man with a little hurt on him

Heartbreak ain't gonna break your heart

Daddy always said, "Rub a little dirt on it"

Wash it on down downtown at the bar

Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice

Stay here and drink all night like Merle

Take it like a man that just lost his girl

I could cry in my cup

Or find a neon light and drink 'em on down and suck it on up

And take it like a man with a little hurt on him

Heartbreak ain't gonna break your heart

Daddy always said, "Rub a little dirt on it"

Wash it on down downtown at the bar

Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice

Stay here and drink all night like Merle

Take it like a man that just lost his girl

Yeah, take it like a man (Take it like a man)

Take it like a man (Take it like a man)

That just lost his girl

Bye-bye
