Dax - To Be A Man (ft. Darius Rucker)

I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain
What it's like to be a man
It's a lonely road
And they don't care 'bout what you know
It's not 'bout how you feel
But what you provide inside that home
Bein' a man is what you make it
You can't always live up to expectations
You try to please everybody while you struggle, so you fake it
And end up out of balance, compromisin' situations
As a good man, a do what he should man
A give everything he has and do everything he could man
You might find yourself feelin' all alone
Inside a house you built that you don't recognize as home
And that's what my daddy told me and I'll tell my son the same
Now that I'm older, I relate and I actually feel his pain
He never cried, he mighta lied, but he did not complain
And he said, "Son, one day, you'll have to do the same
I get emotional when I stop I think and I look around
Beyond the county lines of my small town
I think about all the men out there who feel like I do now
Who are screamin' on the inside, but won't ever make a sound
