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
