Andy Gullahorn - More of a Man lyrics

I took my granddad's .22 When I was in the 2nd grade I shot a deer right in the heart And rubbed his blood upon my face The summer when I turned sixteen I got up each day before the dawn I was building barns and bailing hay Worked harder than the day was long Now I'm 30 and I have three kids I watch Dora the Explorer in the morning I feel a sad truth sinking in Maybe I was more of a man back then It used to be that my daily fare Was chicken fried steak and barbecue I had Dr. Pepper every meal And ice cream when the day was through Now I'm watching my cholesterol My metabolism is obviously slowing Tonight its salad once again Surely I was more of a man back then I used to watch Jean Claude Van Damme k**ing guys on the silver screen Now every night with the kids in bed We watch Gilmore Girls on DVD Surely I was more … So I s** in my protruding gut On our monthly dinner night You're saying something about the kids As I watch these young men pa** me by I remember I was just like them I was lonely but I called it independent And if lonesome is what manly is Baby I was more of a man back then
