Man I Am (OurVinyl Sessions)

V1

When I was a young boy, I used to play Army id invite my friends over to fight

Yea we would like our ranks and say our grace as we fought on into the night

Well here now I do stand, somewhere between. Grown man, and a boy just playing with his friends

Yea I’ve taken the oath to protect and to hold, like my brother and my grandpas did

Pre ch

So mama I’m writing to say, that I’m fine and I’m doing ok

Yea I’m learning to learn that the hardest fight is within

Ch

So tell me paw that after all, he’s the best man I ever saw

And I’m sorry for the fights, in my younger years

And tell me big sister, that I miss her, she was right about a couple of things

I’m a reckless romantic with a head, as hard as nails

I’m just learning to be the man that I am

V2

Well you were my sweetheart, and I asked you out in my car at the school house off 421

Yea our love had its faults and mostly at my cost I was a lover who loved to have fun

Well time is a strange thing and my brain rearranged the plans I had for my life

Yea and part of that, was splitting paths with the girl I thought would be my wife

Ch

So tell me paw that after all, he’s the best man I ever saw

And I’m sorry for the fights, in my younger years

And tell me big sister, that I miss her, she was right about a couple of things

I’m a reckless romantic with a head, as hard as nails

I’m just learning to be the man that I am

Bridge

Well this life is a strange thing and God knows I’ve done things that I am not proud of

But his grace it amazes me the life and the truth it brings I’m thankful it’s more than enough

Chorus
