"A Man Don't" lyrics

Don't make you a man 'cause you can swing a hammer
Puff out your chest, be louder than anyone else
Or break as many hearts as there are bottles on the shelf
Don't make you a man 'cause you can hold her for a night
Say what she wants when you look her in the eyes
It's when you love her through the rain
Hold her through the pain
And you're there on the other side

'Cause a man don't leave
A man don't run
A man don't cheat or lie or even think twice
About sorry rolling off his tongue
Yeah, a boy can say words, make a girl believe 'em
Make 'em sound true and never mean 'em
Go too far and leave her heart broke
Yeah, but a man don't

Don't make you a man 'cause you can shoot a buck
Get real mad, run your fist through the wall
'Cause you can hold your weight in whiskey
Hanging with the boys way past last call
A man knows where the line is
A man knows where the fight is
A man don't let his pride get in the way
At the end of the day

A man don't leave
A man don't run
A man don't cheat or lie or even think twice
About sorry rolling off his tongue
Yeah, a boy can say words, make a girl believe 'em
Make 'em sound true and never mean 'em
Go too far and leave her heart broke
Yeah, but a man don't
Oh, a man don't
No, a man don't
No, no, no

Mighta took me a while to grow up
I learned a lot along the way
Now when you lay your head on that pillow tonight
You don't ever have to worry if I'm gonna stay

'Cause a man don't leave
A man don't run
A man don't cheat or lie or even think twice
About sorry rolling off his tongue
Yeah, a boy can say words, make a girl believe 'em
Make 'em sound true and never mean 'em
Go too far and leave her heart of gold broke
Yeah, or just go dark and treat love like a joke
But a man don't
