Lyrics
Makes You A Better Man... copyright Tony Annunziata annunzia@bellsouth.net
There's a young boy, chasing stars pretty girls and fancy cars
Sweet dreams are what his life is made of
School's out summer sun get a tan have some fun
Nobody's holding him down
He headed for the coast, waved goodbye to his folks
He smiled as they began to pray
First gear they grew smaller third gear he felt taller
But he could hear them say
You gotta learn from your mistakes
You may bend but you won't break
And every step that you take
Makes you a better man
He kept a diary refreshed his memory
Of all he wished he could undo
Got lost in purple haze
Made love and was amazed at how a dream turned true
Love life with all your heart don't fear a shaky start
Nothing good ever comes easy
And when you fear a fall try your best to recall
Your loved one's voices speaking freely
You gotta learn from your mistakes
You may bend but you won't break
And every step that you take
Makes you a better man
Every morning starts a new day / Yesterday has come and gone
Look beyond the blue horizon / Live love stay strong
Young boy, chasing stars pretty girls and fancy cars
Sweet dreams are what your life is made of
School's out summer sun get a tan have some fun
Nobody's holding you down
You gotta learn from your mistakes
You may bend but you won't break
And every step that you take
Makes you a better man
