Gotta Be Strong
Just a mother and her son sit at home every night,
While the daddy's off at work just trying to get by.
He's on the graveyard shift, sweat caught in his eyes,
Why's their father not home
Oh, boy I want to know why,
That every night he grabs his keys,
Walks out the door
Son, I'm begging you, please.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free.
With all the trials and doubts that try to break a man down,
Few land on their feet.
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high.
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man,
The one that lived a life.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong.
Just a husband and his wife sitting home at night,
While their kids have moved on, just passing the time
I see the smile on his face,
Thinking about the days
Sit and talked for a while
The whole day was ours.
But now and then he feels the pain in his chest,
Walks out the door,
Never finds enough rest.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free.
With all the trials and doubt that try to break a man down,
Few land on their feet.
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high.
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man,
The one that lived a life.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong.
Just a family and a son standing by a graveside,
Two man that hide it all, kept them warm at midnight,
Made life look so easy, a sight to see
The son thinks deep down it's who he'd like to be.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free.
With all the trials and doubt that try to break a man down,
Few land on their feet.
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high.
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man,
The one that lived a life.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong.
While the daddy's off at work just trying to get by.
He's on the graveyard shift, sweat caught in his eyes,
Why's their father not home
Oh, boy I want to know why,
That every night he grabs his keys,
Walks out the door
Son, I'm begging you, please.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free.
With all the trials and doubts that try to break a man down,
Few land on their feet.
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high.
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man,
The one that lived a life.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong.
Just a husband and his wife sitting home at night,
While their kids have moved on, just passing the time
I see the smile on his face,
Thinking about the days
Sit and talked for a while
The whole day was ours.
But now and then he feels the pain in his chest,
Walks out the door,
Never finds enough rest.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free.
With all the trials and doubt that try to break a man down,
Few land on their feet.
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high.
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man,
The one that lived a life.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong.
Just a family and a son standing by a graveside,
Two man that hide it all, kept them warm at midnight,
Made life look so easy, a sight to see
The son thinks deep down it's who he'd like to be.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free.
With all the trials and doubt that try to break a man down,
Few land on their feet.
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high.
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man,
The one that lived a life.
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong.
