That's the Kinda Man I Am Songtext
von Eddie Montgomery

I′m a father's son
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 something that gets passed down
I'm a lucky man ′cause I got friends
And my momma 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 tired 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 dying 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 giving 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, 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 tired to leave this world a little better place
I′ll live for the flag, I stand by my friends
Wear this old hat just 'cause I can
That's the kind of man I am
That′s the kind of man I am
