I always noticed
They didn't get along.
I thought was just the way it was
Nothin' really wrong.
I came home from school one day
And my dad took me aside.
I'd never seen him cry before,
It tore me up inside

When he said...

Son,
We need to have a little man to man.
Your old enough now
To understand.
Inspite of all our dreams,
And the best of plans.
Your mom and I
Don't see eye to eye.
She thinks its best for her to go.
We'll have to get along without her
How I don't know.
He said boy I'll need your help,
Then we shook hands
Man to man.

Lord know those next few years were rough.
A test of wills,
It was hard on both of us.
I turned 18,
And I wouldn't listen to easy.
He wanted what was best for me,
And I just wanted freedom.

And I said...

Dad,
We need to have a little man to man.
I'll always love you,
And I hope you understand.
Inspite of all your dreams for me,
And the best of plans.
You and I
Don't see eye to eye.
I think its time for me to go
You'll get along without me
I know.
And before I left,
I tried to shake his hand...
Man to man.

I remember the night,
I sat there watching him fade.
And I'll always be thankful
For the peace we made.

And he said...

Son,
We need to have a little man to man.
I've always loved you,
I need you understand.
I'm glad you lived your dreams,
And made your own plans.
And I hope you always knew
How proud I was of you.
Looks like its time for me to go.
You'll get along without me
I know.
And then I kissed his cheek,
And we held hands...
Man to man!

Man to man...

Man to man...

Man to man.
