Boy This Man Was
If fucking up could pave a road
I'd have an interstate from here to Idaho
Four lanes going both ways
With no exit in sight
But if loving hard made ya rich
I wouldn't have to work another 14-day hitch
Wear this hard hat or these steel toes, no
The boy, this man, was
Learned the hard way
Fist fights to heartbreaks
Drunk nights to sober days
I love who I've become
And it's all because
Yeah it's all because the boy this man was
If living fast slowed ya down
I'da ended up like everyone else in this town
Married with kids a mortgage and a dog
Celebrating life and living high on the hog
But living fast don't do that
It'll have you broke and on your ass
But it took that to be this
Just look at the man that came from that kid
The boy, this man, was
Learned the hard way
Fist fights to heartbreaks
Drunk nights to sober days
I love who I've become
And it's all because
Yeah it's all because of the boy this man was
The drinking and running 'round
The partying throwin' down
The boy that I once was
Made the man that I am now
So I ain't ashamed about how long it took cuz
The boy, this man, was
Learned the hard way
Fist fights to heartbreaks
Drunk nights to sober days
I love who I've become
And it's all because
Yeah it's all because of the boy this man was
Yeah it's all because of the boy this man was
I'd have an interstate from here to Idaho
Four lanes going both ways
With no exit in sight
But if loving hard made ya rich
I wouldn't have to work another 14-day hitch
Wear this hard hat or these steel toes, no
The boy, this man, was
Learned the hard way
Fist fights to heartbreaks
Drunk nights to sober days
I love who I've become
And it's all because
Yeah it's all because the boy this man was
If living fast slowed ya down
I'da ended up like everyone else in this town
Married with kids a mortgage and a dog
Celebrating life and living high on the hog
But living fast don't do that
It'll have you broke and on your ass
But it took that to be this
Just look at the man that came from that kid
The boy, this man, was
Learned the hard way
Fist fights to heartbreaks
Drunk nights to sober days
I love who I've become
And it's all because
Yeah it's all because of the boy this man was
The drinking and running 'round
The partying throwin' down
The boy that I once was
Made the man that I am now
So I ain't ashamed about how long it took cuz
The boy, this man, was
Learned the hard way
Fist fights to heartbreaks
Drunk nights to sober days
I love who I've become
And it's all because
Yeah it's all because of the boy this man was
Yeah it's all because of the boy this man was
