Lyrics

When I was a boy my papa told me
Life is full of misery
And you gotta be tough if you're gonna be a man
He looked me in the eye said I hope you understand
He said tell the truth don't ever lie
Never look danger in the eye
Walk away from trouble when you can
You don't always have to fight to be a man
Turn the other cheek and try to leave
And if you get knocked down well come up swinging
Nothing to lose like your back's against the wall
Keep the good Lord by your side
Never give the devil a ride
At the end of the day you can hold your head up tall
Well it turned out that papa was right
Been going uphill my whole life
And this world is always trying to push me down
Trouble seems to always come back around
Sometimes you can't avoid a fight
So I said my prayers every night
Lord please forgive me if you can
No it ain't always easy being a man
Turn the other cheek and try to leave
And if you get knocked down well come up swinging
Nothing to lose like your back's against the wall
Keep the good Lord by your side
Never give the devil a ride
At the end of the day you can hold your head up tall
Ain't it funny how time passes on
Been three years now since papa's been gone
I can still hear him like it was yesterday
Saying this road is gonna be rough
And a man's gotta be tough
Don't ever let your pride get in the way
You can turn the other cheek and try to leave
And if you get knocked down well come up swinging
Nothing to lose like your back's against the wall
Keep the good Lord by your side
Never give the devil a ride
At the end of the day you can hold your head up tall
At the end of the day you can hold your head up tall
