Man of the House

Daddy was a preacher
Mama was a leaver
They both raised me to believe
In the things that I can't see

Sneakin' cross the border
Trying to find quarters
On the floor for gasoline
Mama cryin' in the front seat

So I became the man
Of the house we used to have
Nothing but the headlights
Straight ahead

And I still see the light
Shining in my mamas eyes
As she turned to me and said
Love is all that matters in the end

I wonder how she felt
Clicking my seat belt
Saying you're safe now baby
Everything's gonna be alright

She said
Some men'll hurt you
Some of them desert you
But a real one knows how to fight
And when to cry

So I became the man
Of the house we used to have
Nothing but the headlights straight ahead

And I still see the light
Shining in my mamas eyes
As she turned to me and said
Love is all that matters in the end

Love
Is all that matters

Daddy was a preacher
Mama was a leaver
They both raised me to believe
In the things that I can't see

So I became the man
Of the house we used to have
Nothing but the headlights straight ahead

And I still see the light
Shining in my mamas eyes
As she turned to me and said
Love is all that matters in the end

Yeah love is all that matters

Love is all that matters

My mama said
Now you're the man of the house

Oh
Yeah, yeah

And my mama said
Now you're the man of the house
