Real Men Lyrics

(Billy Dean)

 

 I came home from college to see my old man

 He was sittin' on the porch swing, with a book in his hand

 He stared at my earring, and at my tattoo

 He smiled and shook his head and said

 It's good to see you

 He chose his words carefully cause it was hard for me to come

 And he knew I had ta temper and where I got it from

 I waited for the sermon, the one I knew so well

 But this time he wasn't preachin'

 About heaven or hell

 He said a real man knows the value of a woman

 

 A real man has got nothin to prove

 He's strenthened by love

 And the Lord up above

 So do the best that you can

 To be a real man

 

 Could it be that I saw just a glimpse of his soul

 Or maybe losin' Mama had just taken it's toll

 He gave me his Bible, stained with tears he had cried

 And I opened up the cover

 Where he wrote inside

 And it said

 

 A real man has got nothin to prove

 He's strenthened by love

 And the Lord up above

 So do the best that you can

 To be a real man

 

 Do the best that you can

 To be a real man
