Just a mother and her son sit at home every night
While the daddy's off at work just trying to get by
He's on the graveyard shift, sweat caught in his eyes
Why's their father not home
Oh, boy I want to know why
That every night he grabs his keys
Walks out the door
Son, I'm begging you, please
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free
With all the trials and doubts that try to break a man down
Few land on their feet
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man
The one that lived a life
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
Just a husband and his wife sitting home at night
While their kids have moved on, just passing the time
I see the smile on his face
Thinking about the days
Sit and talked for a while
The whole day was ours
But now and then he feels the pain in his chest
Walks out the door
Never finds enough rest
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free
With all the trials and doubt that try to break a man down
Few land on their feet
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man
The one that lived a life
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
Just a family and a son standing by a graveside
Two man that hide it all, kept them warm at midnight
Made life look so easy, a sight to see
The son thinks deep down it's who he'd like to be
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
So that one day he can be free
With all the trials and doubt that try to break a man down
Few land on their feet
Sometimes a man's just gotta stand tall
When the reach feels too high
And I hope they tell the tales of a worthy man
The one that lived a life
Sometimes a man's just gotta be strong
