We Shook Hands (Man To Man)

In the style of

Tebey

Lyrics

i always noticed
they didn't get along
i thought that was
just the way it was
nothin' really wrong

i came home
from school one day
and my dad
took me aside
i'd never seen
him cry before
it tore me up inside

when he said son
we need to have
a little man-to-man
you're old
enough now
to understand

in spite of
all our dreams
and the best of plans
your mom and i
don't see eye to eye

she thinks it's best
for her to go
we'll have to
get along
without her
how i don't know

he said boy
i'll need your help
and then
we shook hands
man-to-man

lord knows those
next few years
were rough
a test of wills
it was hard
on both of us

i turned eighteen
and i wouldn't
listen to reason
he wanted what was
best for me
and i just
wanted freedom

and i said dad
we need to have
a little man-to-man
i'll always love you
and i hope
you understand

in spite of all your
dreams for me
and the best of plans
you and i
don't see eye to eye

i think it's time
for me to go
you'll get along
without me
i know

and before i left
i tried
to shake his hand
man-to-man

i remember the night
i sat there
watching him fade
and i'll always
be thankful
for the peace
we made

and he said son
we need to have
a little man-to-man
i've always loved you
i need you
to understand

i'm glad you've lived
your dreams
and made
your own plans
and i hope
you always knew
how proud
i was of you

looks like it's time
for me to go
you'll get along
without me
i know

and then
i kissed his cheek
and we held hands
man-to-man
man-to-man
man-to-man
man-to-man
man-to-man
