Half the Man

She's been gone for a while
& I don't think she'll be coming back this way
Got me thinking about
Setting priorities &
Getting them straight
Maybe it's time I put my head down
And take care of my loved ones
Start to smile everyday
Love everyone every way
Like my dad taught me

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

I've Learnt to put on a tie
And Look em dead in the eye
And tell them Damn straight

To Put it all on the line
Leave the issues behind
When you open them gates

I'm getting older and not wiser
And all these mistakes aint always behind ya
But imma do what it takes
To flip the switch in my head
Like my old man said

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

Cause I'm getting older and not wiser
Cause I'm getting older and not wiser
All my mistakes behind us

'Cause I know where Im gonna be one day
Telling my kids 'bout the things he did for me
And give it all to my whole family
Knowing damn well they did the same thing for me
And I'd go through hell to get there and I ain't turning back
Cause the way my dad was
And all that he had
I hope that I can be half the man
