Trying to Be a Man - Will Hoge

One night I fell in love with a little girl

And I gave her my whole world

And I knew right then I’d never get it back

And I wondered how I fell for that

Five months later with tears in both her eyes

She handed me those two pink lines

The only test in my whole life I didn’t fail

I told her we’d be fine, but I was scared as hell

Ooohhh, my love, I hope it doesn’t show

But I’m scared to death of drowning

In these things that I don’t know

Ooohhh, my love, I hope you’ll understand

The truth is I’m a boy, who’s tryin to be a man

I got a hand me down gold ring to make it right

And I could feel you kick when the judge said «Kiss the bride»

But your momma and me we walked out hand in hand

Soon, three against the world

We’d make a stand

But on the day that you were born

She got called home

And it’s the darkest thing my heart has ever known The Dr.

said «I'm sorry» And handed you to me

I looked in your blue eyes and couldn’t even speak

To tell you «Oh, my son, I hope it doesn’t show,

But I’m scared to death of drowning

In these things that I don’t know.

Whoa, my son, I hope you’ll understand

The truth is I’m a boy, just tryin to be a man.

Oh your daddy’s just a boy, who’s trying to be a man…
