Gotta keep it real and say what's on my mind
I don't know if I can hold it down
Tried on my own, but I'm tired of walking blind, and I
I wish that I could turn around
And tell you that I'm sorry, and I never meant to be
The type of man to ever leave his girl lonely
Every twist and every turn
Every bridge I went and burned
I'm thankful God took his time on me until I learned

That a man
Knows how to ride
Stay by your side
And a man
Ain't gotta hide
Sometimes we cry
You know that a man
Willing to put his whole life on the line
And won't walk away
That a man
Knows how to ride
Stay by your side
And a man
Ain't gotta hide
Sometimes we cry
You know that a man
Willing to put his whole life on the line
And won't walk away

I never thought id say this
I was strung out
I was losing patience, running around leaving traces
All around
The enemy tried taking me out
I prayed he would change me
Turn me around
Lord I want to say I'm sorry, and I never meant to be
The type of man to ever leave his fam lonely
Every minute every mile
Every time that I broke down
He brought me too far to ever turn back around

See I made it through some stormy days
But I know
But I know he'll make a way

That a man
Knows how to ride
Stay by your side
And a man
Ain't gotta hide
Sometimes we cry
You know that a man
Willing to put his whole life on the line
And won't walk away
That a man
Knows how to ride
Stay by your side
And a man
Ain't gotta hide
Sometimes we cry
You know that a man
Willing to put his whole life on the line
And won't walk away

That a man
Knows how to ride
Stay by your side
And a man
Ain't gotta hide
Sometimes we cry
You know that a man
Willing to put his whole life on the line
And won't walk away
That a man
Knows how to ride
Stay by your side
And a man
Ain't gotta hide
Sometimes we cry
You know that a man
Willing to put his whole life on the line
And won't walk away
