Oh-oh
Now, when I was a young man, barely 16
Dreams in my pocket, life looking clean
My daddy told me, "Son, stand tall and be strong"
But these hard roads taught me where I belong
I'm a man, yes, I am
I carry my load through fire and rain
On a broken road
I'm a man, ain't no child no more
I done paid my dues
Knocking on life's door
I'm a man with scars on my soul
I'm a man trying to keep control
Late in the evening, just me and my blues
Whiskey whispering, got nothing to lose
Love came knocking, but she wouldn't stay
Left me with memories that won't fade away
Wasn't I a man? Didn't I try?
Gave up my heart, still watched it die
I'm a man, hear me now, standing alone
But I keep on walking, make this world my home
Oh well, oh well
Morning light doesn't always make it right
But I'm a man
And I'm still standing here tonight
