Half The Man Testo

She's been gone for a while and I don't think she'll be comin' back this way
Got me thinkin' about settin' priorities and gettin' them straight
Baby, it's time I put my head down and take care of my loved ones
Start to smile every day, love every one every way like my dad taught me

And I know where I wanna be one day
Not pickin' up a drink 'fore I call it a day
And give the world to my whole family
Knowing damn well they'd do the same thing for me
And I'd go through hell to get thеre and I ain't turnin' back 'Cause the way my dad was and all that hе had
I hope I can be half the man

I've learned to put on a tie and look 'em dead in the eye and tell 'em damn straight
To put it all on the line and leave the issues behind when you open them gates
I'm gettin' older and not wiser and all these mistakes ain't always behind ya
But I'ma do what it takes to flick the switch in my head, like my old man said

And I know where I wanna be one day
Not pickin' up a drink 'fore I call it a day
And give the world to my whole family
Knowing damn well they'd do the same thing for me
And I'd go through hell to get there and I ain't turnin' back
'Cause the way my dad was and all that he had
I hope I can be half the man

'Cause I'm gettin' older and not wiser
'Cause I'm gettin' older and not wiser
All my mistakes behind ya
'Cause I know where I'm gonna be one day
Tellin' my kids 'bout the things he did for me
And give it all to my whole family
Knowing damn well they'd do the same thing for me
And I'd go through hell to get there and I ain't turnin' back
'Cause the way my dad was and all that he had
I hope I can be half the man

(She's been gone for a while and I don't think she'll be comin' back this way)
I'll be waitin' for you
I'll be
Not in front of you
Not behind you
By your side
