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
