Lyrics:
When I sold out my first concert
I called up my old man
He was sitting in the kitchen
Getting drunk at 10 A.M
He said, boy, I hope your dreams come true
‘Cause you know I’m gonna want a piece
That was after he left my momma
And before he left me
It’s taken me years, beers, and her tears
To know who I am
Thank god, turns out
I’m not my old man
Another night with the boys
Getting drunk, smoking joints
God damn
It takes a strong strong woman
To make a good man
I spent the weekends at my grandma’s house
Playing rummy every day
She taught me how to make a sauce
How to garden and to pray
On the nights when I was on the town
And near drink myself to death
I remember thee serenity
And just barely catch my breath
It’s taken me years, beers, and her tears
To know who I am
Thank god, turns out
I’m not my old man
Another night with the boys
Getting drunk, smoking joints
God damn
It takes a strong strong woman
To make a good man
I want more good years with my momma
While she’s still in good health
Another call with grandma
Would be my generational wealth
I don’t want no girl of mine
Staying up, sick as hell
Wondering if I’m gonna come home
Or if I’m out by myself
It’s taken me years, beers, and her tears
To know who I am
Thank god, turns out
I’m not my old man
Another night with the boys
Getting drunk, smoking joints
God damn
It takes a strong strong woman
To make a good man
It takes a strong strong woman
To make a good man
It tools some strong strong women
To make me the man I am
