Song Description

Just a great honest look at what 'real men' are - or should be. The best description I've ever heard.

Lyrics

(VERSE 1)
real men don't like lawyers
real men don't like rules
real men'd rather kick your ass than sue

and real men scare each other
and real men don't complain
real men shoulder everybody's pain

and real men fight with a flood of their emotions
and they like to watch real women walkin' by
and real men lose their innocence in wars across the ocean
real men think their fathers never die
no they just can't seem to tell that man goodbye

(VERSE 2)
and real men don't ask directions
so they stand out in the cold
but real men need real women more than gold

and real men don't say nigger
and real men don't say die
and real men love their babies more than jesus

and real men lay their dreams aside in quiet desperation
and they learn to build a wall around their hearts
but real men long to live their lives in love and contemplation
but they just can't find the place and time to start

(VERSE 3)
and real men cry when their daughters up and marry
and their sons are old enough to be men too
but mostly all alone at night with the burdens that they carry
cause this world - it just won't let 'em do
what a real man's gotta do
