The Bacon Brothers - Only a Good Woman lyrics

When I was seventeen I asked my daddy What does it take to be a man He said sit down son Let's have a little talk I'll try and make you understand Then he said years won't do it, tears won't do it And sittin down to drink a thousand beers won't do it Tattoos won't do it, and booze won't do it And puttin little lifts in your shoes won't do it I'm gonna tell you the thing that can He said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man He said only, a good woman can That's the only thing, that's gonna make you a man He said a scar won't do it fast cars won't do it And kickin someone's a** in a bar won't do it You aint gonna do it as an army private or A captain or lieutenant, no just won't buy it Listen son you'd better get yourself a plan He said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man He said only, a good woman can That's the only thing, that's gonna make you a man Now I was runnin around all through my twenties Just to prove I had the stuff Then one day I met this brown eyed girl She said to me boy you aint so tough She said that walk won't do it, talk won't do it And struttin in here like a chicken hawk won't do it Or bein a s**ist, or drivin that Lexus Or tellin people you were born and raised in Texas Come over here boy if you think you can She said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man She said only, a good woman can That's the only thing, that's gonna make you a man My daddy died when I was thirty one And that brown eyed girl gave me a brown eyed son And when he comes to me wonderin how you do it I'll say now sit down son cause I've been through it Drugs won't do it, and hugs won't do it And hangin on the corner with the thugs won't do it The preacher won't do it and the teacher won't do it And stayin up to watch the creature feature won't do it Boy just look at your momma and you'll understand You get a good woman and she'll make you a man Son only, a good woman can That's the only thing, that's gonna make you a man Eatin snakes won't do it, Body By Jake won't do it And puttin a lot of birthday candles on your birthday cake won't do it Wearin cowboy boots won't do it, Armani suits won't do it Sittin there puffin on that Cuban cheroot won't do it Bein rich won't do it, bein poor won't do it Playin this song on the radioooo.....might do it Actually, that might do it
