Lyrics Trying to Be a Man - Will Hoge

Trying to Be a Man

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…
