A Man's Gotta Do
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
When a man's gotta do what he's got to
A well-bred wife with a silver spoon and knife
Will butter your bread twice as good as you do
I remember when I was your age
That's when I was settlin' down
Your mother and I were engaged
And I opened up a bank account
You can't expect the future
To be just like the past
You haven't got a clue, sir
Please try to understand
When I stood tall, side-by-side with your grandpa
There was just nothin' at all we couldn't do!
With all due respect
I observe and I object
There's no rush for me to step in your shoes
You can't waste your time on foolish things
When there's real work to be done
There won't be any stopping you and me
When you do what I tell you, son
You have no idea what I would do to protect this dynasty!
The road beyond the river
Leads right back to this house
I won't be gone forever
Just let me go now
You can't expect the future (A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do)
To be just like the past (When a man's gotta do what he's got to)
You haven't got a clue, sir (When I stood tall side-by-side with your grandpa)
Please try to understand (There was just nothing at all we couldn't do!)
I can't understand why you can't comprehend
What to do
Why can't I get through to you?
When a man's gotta do what he's got to
A well-bred wife with a silver spoon and knife
Will butter your bread twice as good as you do
I remember when I was your age
That's when I was settlin' down
Your mother and I were engaged
And I opened up a bank account
You can't expect the future
To be just like the past
You haven't got a clue, sir
Please try to understand
When I stood tall, side-by-side with your grandpa
There was just nothin' at all we couldn't do!
With all due respect
I observe and I object
There's no rush for me to step in your shoes
You can't waste your time on foolish things
When there's real work to be done
There won't be any stopping you and me
When you do what I tell you, son
You have no idea what I would do to protect this dynasty!
The road beyond the river
Leads right back to this house
I won't be gone forever
Just let me go now
You can't expect the future (A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do)
To be just like the past (When a man's gotta do what he's got to)
You haven't got a clue, sir (When I stood tall side-by-side with your grandpa)
Please try to understand (There was just nothing at all we couldn't do!)
I can't understand why you can't comprehend
What to do
Why can't I get through to you?
