That’s the Kinda Man I Am

[Verse 1]
I'm a father's son and I'm a daughter's dad
Born in the South and I was born again
I know the truth by the way it sounds
Tough love is somethin' that gets passed down
I'm a lucky man 'cause I got friends
And my mama loves me for who I am

[Chorus]
I know I'll live and I'll die
What's in-between is a thing called life
And when I'm long gone, I want them to say
I tried to leave this world a little better place
I'll turn the other cheek, but I'll make a stand
'Cause I was raised to care and not give a damn
That's the kind of man I am

[Verse 2]
I'll pray for peace, but I'll go to war
'Cause my friends and family are worth dyin' for
I know hard work makes a boy a man
And how good dirt feels in these callused hands
I don't sit in church, but I still believe
The good Lord in Heaven ain't ever givin' up on me

[Chorus]
He knows I'll live and I'll die
What's in-between is a thing called life
And when I'm long gone, I want them to say
I tried to leave this world a little better place
I'll turn the other cheek, but I'll make a stand
'Cause I was raised to care and not give a damn
That's the kind of man I am

[Bridge]
Well, I've loved a woman and held a child
In my arms the day that he was born
Oh, I'm big enough to say I'm wrong
And smart enough to know I'm not alone

[Chorus]
'Cause we all live and we all die
What's in between is a thing called life
And when I'm long gone, I want them to say
I tried to leave this world a little better place
I live for the flag, I stand by my friends
I wear this old hat just 'cause I can
That's the kind of man I am

[Outro]
Ooh
That's the kind of man I am
