"How You Make A Man" lyrics

"How You Make A Man"

Preacher said on the sixth day, God made Adam out of dust
Teacher said that the Big Bang is where we came from
Momma said it's a miracle we're all born straight outta love
But daddy said, let me tell you son

It's the good days, bad days, goodbye heartbreaks
Tail lights fading 'cause you didn't say enough
The loss and the tears, and the laughs, and the beers
The wars you fight, the ones you walk away from
You run, you crawl, you rise, you fall
You hit your knees 'til you learn to stand
Yeah, that's how you make a man

22, thought I knew everything, so I put everything on a
Pawn shop, shiny thing, diamond ring, I would've done anything
I promised that girl the whole wide world right before she left
She left a boy broken, yeah, remembering what my daddy said

It's the good days, bad days, goodbye heartbreaks
Tail lights fading 'cause you didn't say enough
The loss and the tears, and the laughs, and the beers
The wars you fight, the ones you walk away from
You run, you crawl, you rise, you fall
You hit your knees 'til you learn to stand
Yeah, that's how you make a man

Yeah, I had to live to learn, and crash and burn
For me to turn into a man worth loving you
It's the good days, bad days, goodbye heartbreaks
Tail lights fading 'cause you didn't say enough
The loss and the tears, and the laughs, and the beers
The wars you fight, the ones you walk away from
You run, you crawl, you rise, you fall
You hit your knees 'til you learn to stand
Yeah, that's how you make a man
Yeah, that's how you make a man
Yeah, that's how you make a man

Make a man
Make a man
Make a man
Make a man
