That's A Man
Written By: Mark D. Sanders, Ed Hill, Steven Dale Jones
Saw a story on the local news last night 'Bout one more struggling single mother She was talkin' 'bout how hard it is gettin' by With no help, no money, no nothin' from the baby's father Made me think about this guy I know with a wife and a child Who's working two jobs just to get by Yeah, he says he'd do anything he could in this world Just to give his young family a better life; Yeah, a better life Oh, that's a man That's a 19-year-old, modern day hero man Those two young Marines over there fighting for their country Man, they're gonna be friends forever They both come back eventually but as bonds and destiny would have it They don't come back together Yeah, the one who lived to tell about why he can't even talk about it Keeps fighting that fight up there in his head Ain't a day goes by he don't wonder why, why it wasn't me instead It could've been me instead Oh, that's a man That's a you don't know how hard he tried to save his buddy's life man I don't know about you but sometimes, I just need a little remindin' Reach down and find some understandin' Find some kind of kindness Read about a man who said his family had been farming the same land in Ohio For a hundred years Felt like he'd paid for it ten times over With his own blood, his own sweat, and his own tears If he had to, he'd be out there on that tractor workin' Seven long, hot days a week Yeah, he's the kind of fellathat people get real quiet When he stands up in church to speak They know when he speaks Oh, that's a man That's a stand tall, walk straight put God's share in the collection plate man Oh, that's a man Oh, that's a man (C)2008 WB Music Corp., Steven Dale Jones Music (ASCAP)/ Universal Music Careers, Sagrabeaux Songs (BMI)/ Large Vista Music (ASCAP), Songs of the Sanderosa (ASCAP)/ (All rights on behalf of Steven Dale Jones Music admin by WB Music Corp.)
