22 - A Man Was Born

[00:08.28] I thought it happened when

[00:10.13] I took that first sip

[00:12.52] Out of a Tall Boy

[00:14.11] Thought boy “ain’t you tough”

[00:16.78] They couldn’t tell me nothin’

[00:18.63] When I got the keys to somethin’

[00:20.75] That could take 17 me where that drag strip was

[00:27.39] But loose gravel don’t love trucks

[00:30.84] Thought I was all grown up, but

[00:33.51] I found out fast that life’ll put you back in your place

[00:37.74] Ready or not man, the real world’s right in your face

[00:41.74] When you’re down upside, it’s too late to hit them brakes

[00:46.25] Damn near died, but a man was born that day

[00:58.49] In that smoky college bar

[01:00.88] I saw her on his arm

[01:04.07] That seeing red whiskey said

[01:05.66] Throw the first punch

[01:08.32] Next thing ya know, I woke up

[01:12.32] Thought I could take anyone, but

[01:15.78] I found out fast that life’ll put you back in your place

[01:19.75] Ready or not man, the real world’s right in your face

[01:24.00] Found out real quick why sometimes you walk away

[01:28.52] Swallow your pride, but a man was born that day

[01:40.47] Yeah, we had it planned it out

[01:42.60] Names written down

[01:44.73] And a room half rolled in blue paint

[01:48.44] Aw, but in the kitchen that day

[01:53.48] I found out fast that life’ll put you back in your place

[01:57.74] Ready or not man, the real world’s right in your face

[02:01.98] Tears welling up in her eyes, that’ll make a heart break

[02:06.52] No pink lines, but a man was born that day
