Learning

I remember growing up Riding shotgun in my daddy's truck He let me take the wheel every now and then And I was learning - to be a man We drive down to the Wilsons pond With rods and reels and little George Jones And he made a cast and let me pull them in And I was learning - learning to be a man It takes a man, to teach a man I thank the boy for his guiding hand And I'm learning - Learning to be a man And I left home when I was 17 Headed up north to Tennessee He said boy, your nothing if I drink Now I understand I was learning to be a man It takes a man, to teach a man I thank the lord for his guiding hand And I'm learning - Learning to be a man With every passing day I find a way but I'm still getting old Got to fix it when its broken or when its time to fold but Loving aint ever wrong And it takes a man, to teach a man I thank the lord for his guiding hand And I'm learning - Learning to be a man Him and mum started falling apart She left him with a hole in his heart He said son, someday you'll understand You'll be learning like I'm learning Yes I'm learning like he's learning To be a man
