Good Man
Tell me what you've been thinking about, son
Toy trucks and shooting paint guns
Did you win that race?
And did you put the little guy in his place?
Tell me what you've been thinking about, boy
Baseball and stealin' playboys
Did you pick a fight
Playing out in the street last night
Well I don't give a shit about that
I just want to play my piano
And my father took my hand
He said, son, let me tell you what I know
Once I wished I could be
Tall like the oak trees
But 6 feet is all I need
For the shelf your mom can't reach
Once I I hoped I could be
Strong like the ocean
But I'm strong enough to pick you up
When you fall and bust your knee
I used to want to be a big man
Now I want to be a good man
Used to want to be a big man
You make me want to be a good man
Tell me what you've been thinking about, son
Two roads and choosing the right one
Did you stand your ground?
Never let them knock the little man down?
Oh, tell me what you've been thinking about, brother
Heartbreak and being there for eachother
Did you make it right
Learn from your mistakes so you don't make them next time
Real men give a shit about that
And real men can play the piano
My girl, she took my hand
She makes me want to be a better man tomorrow
Once I wished I could be
Tall like the oak trees
But 5'10" is perfect
To reach your forehead for a kiss
When I'm on my toes
I hoped I could be
Strong like the ocean
But I'm strong enough to pick you up
When you feel like giving in
I used to want to be a big man
Now I want to be a good man
Used to want to be a big man
You make me want to be a good man
And you said, "Oh my, my
Bless my soul
Nobody's gonna listen to your rock 'n' roll
If it ain't got heart
It don't matter how big your biceps are"
Once I wished I could be
Tall like the oak trees
5'10" is perfect
To reach your forehead for a kiss
When I'm on my toes
I hoped I would be
Strong like the ocean
But I'm strong enough to pick you up
When we're dancing like this
I used to want to be a big man
Now I want to be a good man
Used to want to be a big man
You make me want to be a good man
Toy trucks and shooting paint guns
Did you win that race?
And did you put the little guy in his place?
Tell me what you've been thinking about, boy
Baseball and stealin' playboys
Did you pick a fight
Playing out in the street last night
Well I don't give a shit about that
I just want to play my piano
And my father took my hand
He said, son, let me tell you what I know
Once I wished I could be
Tall like the oak trees
But 6 feet is all I need
For the shelf your mom can't reach
Once I I hoped I could be
Strong like the ocean
But I'm strong enough to pick you up
When you fall and bust your knee
I used to want to be a big man
Now I want to be a good man
Used to want to be a big man
You make me want to be a good man
Tell me what you've been thinking about, son
Two roads and choosing the right one

Oh, tell me what you've been thinking about, brother

Now I want to be a good man
Used to want to be a big man
You make me want to be a good man
