The Man I Am Lyrics

Growing up in Ohio

Ya always mind the things that ya didn't know

I had to learn the lessons

And learn the rest

No better place to test ya than the midwest

And I felt that chillin cold

More times than you would know

Well I wish I knew what I know now

But I learned from my brothers how to stand my ground

I've always called this place my home

Cause here ill never be alone

Yeah

I've tasted lips from every coast

Gave my heart and lost the most

Picked up myself with broken strings

Had good years and lost good things

I'm not the man I used to know

With no real place to call my own

Yeah no one will ever really understand

The man I am

I was good ole boy raised from good roots

And gave the Lord my time in a two piece suit

Yeah I gave it all my best

I never put it down to rest

With a willing heart and open hands

Yeah I served my time for uncle sam

And I wore a different pair of boots

And a different type of suit

Yeah

I've tasted lips from every coast

Gave my heart and lost the most

Picked up myself with broken strings

Had good years and lost good things

I'm not the man I used to know

With no real place to call my own

Yeah no one will ever really understand

The man I am

The man I am

I've tasted lips from every coast

Gave my heart and lost the most

Picked up myself with broken strings

Had good years and lost good things

I'm not the man I used to know

With no real place to call my own

Yeah no one will ever really understand

No they wont understand

The man I am

The man I am

The man I am
