We Shook Hands Man To Man Lyrics

I always noticed they didnt get along,
I thought that was just the was it
was,nothin really wrong.
I came home from school one day and my dad took me
a side
I've never seen him cry before it tore me up inside
and he said
son we need to have a lil man to man
Your old enough now to
understand,
inspite of all our dreams and the best of plans
your mom and
i dont see eye to eye.
She thinks its best for her to go
Wi'll have to
get along without her how i dont know
He said boy i'll need ur help
and
then we shook hands man to man.

Lord knows those next few years were
rough
A test of will's it was hard on both of us
I turned 18 and i
wouldnt listen to easy
he wanted what was best for me
I just wanted
freedom

And i said dad, we need to have a little man to man
I'll
always love you
and i hope u understand,
inspite of all ur dreams for me
and the best of plans
you and I dont see eye to eye
I think its time for
me to go
U'll get along without me, i no
and before i left i tried to
shake his hand
Man to man

I remember the night i sat there watchin
him fade
and i'll always be thankful for the peace we made
and he said
son we need to have a lil man to man
I've always love you and i need u
understand
Im glad you lived your dreams and made your own plans
and i
hope u always knew how proud i was of you
Looks like its time for me to
go
You'll get along without me,i know
and then i kissed his cheek and we
held hands
man to man
man to man
man to man
