Testo di A Man Was Born

I thought it happened when I took that first sip out of a tall boy Thought: Boy, ain't you tough? They couldn't tell me nothin' when I got the keys to somethin' That can take seventeen me where that drag strip was But loose gravel don't love trucks Thought I was all grown up, but I found out fast that life can put you back in your place Ready or not, man, the real world's right in your face When you're down upsides, too late to hit them brakes Man near died, but a man was born that day And that smoky college bong, I saw her on his arm And that seein' red, whiskey said: Throw the first punch Next thing you know, I woke up Thought I could take anyone, but I found out fast that life can put you back in your place Ready or not, man, the real world's right in your face Found out real quick why sometimes you walk away Swallow your pride, but a man was born that day Yeah, we had a plan now Names written down in a room half wrote in blue paint Oh, but in the kitchen that day I found out fast that life can put you back in your place Ready or not, man, the real world's right in your face Tears wellin' up in her eyes, that'll make a heart break No pink lines, but a man was born that day
