Verse One
D G
Walk out of an alley with a bloody dollar bill

Holdin' your lunch money that no bully's gonna steal

Put that dime left over with the others in a box
D A G
To buy your grandpa a new buck knife to replace the one you lost
Verse Two

Steal your daddy's Pontiac and plant it in a ditch

Watch him walk to work all week 'till he could get it fixed

Go there with a debt to pay and leave there with a skill
Chorus:

That's how you make a boy become more than just his father's son
G D G D G A G
Fight and crawl, climb and fall, stand tall on your knees
D G
That's how you make a man like me
Verse Three
Pick up that telephone you wish you never heard
Take the longest two mile drive you ever took to her
And wait 'till she takes that test 'cause you just couldn't wait and taste
Bittersweet victory when she says, "We're okay"
Verse Four
Let your buddy leave a party, don't ask him for his keys
Rest that casket on the shoulder where your best friend used to lean
See that baby boy's whole life flash right before his mama's eyes
Live with knowing you could have saved his life
