Tim McGraw - Walk Like a Man Lyrics

Man, the fights they had 
He'd cover up his ears 
He thought, "big boys don't cry" 
Fought back all the tears 
Mama'd use her makeup 
To hide the bruises on her face 
In the morning they'd pretend 
That there'd never ever 
Been a trace 

His old man woke him up 
To help him find the car 
Take the bus uptown 
Outside some run-down bar 
Swore that he was quitting 
And then he'd start to cry 
And though the boy knew the truth 
Sometimes he'd still believe that lie 

[chorus] 
When the sins of the father 
Are the sins of the son 
All you do is crawl 
When you wanna run 
But God gave boys their mamas 
Cause they always see their promise 
And they help them understand 
How to walk like a man, walk like a man 

They moved a lot of places 
They never settled down 
It got pretty old, being the new kid in town 
He'd always tell his friends, "My daddy's sick today" 
Said, he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time 
He heard his mama say 

[chorus] 
The sins of the father 
Are the sins of the son 
Crawl before you walk boy 
Walk before you run 
Come on, stand up straight 
I'm proud of you 
Take my hand, I know you can 
Walk like a man, walk like a man 

Your daddy's demons are callin' your name 
Don't you listen to them, cause they got no claim 
Temptation may come, that ain't no sin 
You get stronger everytime that you don't give in 

The sins of the father 
Are the sins of the son 
You can't undo what has been done 
You'll have to retrace his footsteps through the sand 

And pray you'll find the love of a girl 
And take her by the hand 
And walk on 
Walk like a man
