That's The Kinda Man I Am Songtext
I'm a father's son and I'm a daughter's dad
Born in the South and I was born again
I know the truth by the way it sounds
Tough love is somethin' that gets passed down
I'm a lucky man 'cause I got friends
And my mama loves me for who I am

I know I'll live and I'll die
What's in-between is a thing called life
And when I'm long gone, I want them to say
I tried to leave this world a little better place
I'll turn the other cheek, but I'll make a stand
'Cause I was raised to care and not give a damn
That's the kind of man I am

I'll pray for peace, but I'll go to war
'Cause my friends and family are worth dyin' for
I know hard work makes a boy a man
And how good dirt feels in these callused hands
I don't sit in church, but I still believe
The good Lord in Heaven ain't ever givin' up on me

He knows I'll live and I'll die
What's in-between is a thing called life
And when I'm long gone, I want them to say
I tried to leave this world a little better place
I'll turn the other cheek, but I'll make a stand
'Cause I was raised to care and not give a damn
That's the kind of man I am
Well, I've loved a woman and held a child
In my arms the day that he was born
Oh, I'm big enough to say I'm wrong
And smart enough to know I'm not alone

'Cause we all live and we all die
What's in between is a thing called life
And when I'm long gone, I want them to say
I tried to leave this world a little better place
I live for the flag, I stand by my friends
I wear this old hat just 'cause I can
That's the kind of man I am

Ooh
That's the kind of man I am
