Trying To Be A Man

One night I fell in love with a little girl

And I gave her my whole world

And I knew right then I'd never get it back

And I wonder how I fell for that

Five months later with tears in both her eyes

She handed me those two pink lines

The only test in my whole life,

I didn't fail

I told her we'd be fine but I was scared as hell

Oh my love, I hope it doesn't show

But I'm scared to death of drowning in these things I

don't know

Oh my love, I hope you'll understand

The truth is I'm a boy who's trying to be a man

I got a hand-me-down gold ring to make it right

And I could feel you kick when the judge said kiss the

bride

But your mama and me walked down hand in hand

Soon three against the world

We'd make a stand

But on the day you were born she got called home

And it's the darkest thing my heart has ever known

Doctor said I'm sorry and handed you to me

I looked in your blue eyes and couldn't even speak

To tell you oh my son,I hope it doesn't show

But I'm scared to death of drowning in these things I

don't know

Whoa my son, I hope you'll understand

The truth is I'm a boy that's trying to be a man

Oh your daddy's just a boy who's trying to be a man
