When I was seventeen
I asked my daddy
What does it take to be a man
He said sit down son
Let's have a little talk
I'll try and make you understand
Then he said years won't do it, tears won't do it
And sittin down to drink a thousand beers won't do it
Tattoos won't do it, and booze won't do it
And puttin little lifts in your shoes won't do it
I'm gonna tell you the thing that can
He said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man
He said only, a good woman can
That's the only thing, that's gonna make you a man
He said a scar won't do it fast cars won't do it
And kickin someone's ass in a bar won't do it
You aint gonna do it as an army private or
A captain or lieutenant, no just won't buy it
Listen son you'd better get yourself a plan
He said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man
He said only, a good woman can
That's the only thing, that's gonna make you a man
Now I was runnin around all through my twenties
Just to prove I had the stuff
Then one day I met this brown eyed girl
She said to me boy you aint so tough
She said that walk won't do it, talk won't do it
And struttin in here like a chicken hawk won't do it
Or bein a sexist, or drivin that Lexus
Or tellin people you were born and raised in Texas
Come over here boy if you think you can
She said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man
She said only, a good woman can
That's the only thing, that's gonna make you a man
My daddy died when I was thirty one
And that brown eyed girl gave me a brown eyed son
And when he comes to me wonderin how you do it
I'll say now sit down son cause I've been through
