American man 2.0

What’s it mean to be an American man?

I asked my paw-paw once when I was about ten.

What’s it mean to be an American man?

Let me tell ya what my grandad told me as a boy way back when.

It’s owning a tractor

And plowing your land.

It’s having some kids, a few bird dogs, and a good woman’s hand.

It’s saluting the flag

singing to the Anthem

It’s praying to God

That we never forget them

It’s thanking a veteran every chance you get.

Yeah, That’s what it means to be an American man.

What’s it mean to be an American man?

My momma’d say ask you father, he will answer ya fair.

What’s it mean to be an American man?

Well let me tell ya what my daddy told me as took a pinch out of that skoal can.

It’s waking up early

Putting on your boots

It’s fixin a coffee,

And loading’ cattle in the shoots

It’s loving you family

And holding your wife’s hand

It’s having some pride and taking a firm stand.

It’s drinking a cold one

Cooking on the grille

Having a hard laugh with your buddies

Being able to cherish that good will.

It’s praying to that man up above every chance you get. Yeah, that’s what it means to be an American man.
