Tim Mcgraw - Walk Like A Man lyrics

In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears Mama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace His old man woke him up to help him find the car Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar And swore that he was quittin And then he'd start to cry And though the boy knew the truth Sometimes he'd still believe that lie When the sins of the father are the sins of the son All you do is crawl when you wanna run And God gave boys their mamas cause They always see their promise And they help them understand How to walk like a man Walk like a man They moved a lot of places, they never settled down It got pretty old being the new kid in town He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say The sins of the father are the sins of the son Crawl before you walk, boy Walk before you run Come on, stand up straight, I'm proud of you Take my hand I know you can Walk like a man Walk like a man Your daddy's demons are callin' your name Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim Temptations may come, that ain't no sin You get stronger every time that you don't give in The sins of the father are the sins of the son You can't undo what has been done You'll have to retrace his footsteps Through the sand And pray you find the love of a girl And take her by the hand And walk on Walk like a man
