Lyrics The Marshall Tucker Band

The Marshall Tucker Band

Am I The Kind Of Man

Am I the kind of man

That lives by his heart

Who believes in God almighty

Not fearin' the devil or the dark

Always there when you need me to be

Hold your hand, say I love you

In those hours of need

Wish you could close your eyes

Truthfully one day say them things to me

Am I the kind of man

That thinks he's strong

To stand up in a crowd

And admit when he's wrong

When you're in trouble

To no one else you'll ever plead

Knock on my door, say honey

You're the man I needed to see

Wish you could close your eyes

Truthfully one day say them things to me

I know I ain't been much

But I'm tryin'

Things have been rough lately

I'm not denyin'

But I'm gonna try somehow

To be a better man

'Cause my heart and soul

Is tryin' as hard as it can

Am I the kind of man

Who believes in peace

Who'll stand up and fight in a minute

Over something that he believes

Loves all his brothers

Treats his elders with respect

Never heard me say that I don't give a damn

What the hell, who gives a heck

Wish you could close your eyes

Truthfully one day say them things to me

'Cause you're the only woman alive

That can make that kind of man out of me
