Tim McGraw - Walk Like A Man Lyrics
Man, the fights they hadHe'd cover up his earsHe thought, "big boys don't cry"Fought back all the tearsMama'd use her makeupTo hide the bruises on her faceIn the morning they'd pretendThat there'd never everBeen a traceHis old man woke him upTo help him find the carTake the bus uptownOutside some run-down barSwore that he was quittingAnd then he'd start to cryAnd though the boy knew the truthSometimes he'd still believe that lie[chorus]When the sins of the fatherAre the sins of the sonAll you do is crawlWhen you wanna runBut God gave boys their mamasCause they always see their promiseAnd they help them understandHow to walk like a man, walk like a manThey moved a lot of placesThey never settled downIt got pretty old, being the new kid in townHe'd always tell his friends, "My daddy's sick today"Said, he'd be rich if he had a nickel every timeHe heard his mama say[chorus]The sins of the fatherAre the sins of the sonCrawl before you walk boyWalk before you runCome on, stand up straightI'm proud of youTake my hand, I know you canWalk like a man, walk like a manYour daddy's demons are callin' your nameDon't you listen to them, cause they got no claimTemptation may come, that ain't no sinYou get stronger everytime that you don't give inThe sins of the fatherAre the sins of the sonYou can't undo what has been doneYou'll have to retrace his footsteps through the sandAnd pray you'll find the love of a girlAnd take her by the handAnd walk onWalk like a man
