Still a Man

Oh-oh

Now, when I was a young man, barely 16

Dreams in my pocket, life looking clean

My daddy told me, "Son, stand tall and be strong"

But these hard roads taught me where I belong

I'm a man, yes, I am

I carry my load through fire and rain

On a broken road

I'm a man, ain't no child no more

I done paid my dues

Knocking on life's door

I'm a man with scars on my soul

I'm a man trying to keep control

Late in the evening, just me and my blues

Whiskey whispering, got nothing to lose

Love came knocking, but she wouldn't stay

Left me with memories that won't fade away

Wasn't I a man? Didn't I try?

Gave up my heart, still watched it die

I'm a man, hear me now, standing alone

But I keep on walking, make this world my home

Oh well, oh well

Morning light doesn't always make it right

But I'm a man

And I'm still standing here tonight
