Man Of Steel

Your porch got a screen door sigh

Your laugh cuts through the July

I rolled in with my boots all scarred

You looked right through that hard little guard

I used to bend, I used to break

One good hit and I’d shake

But you got that look in your eye

Now I’m learning how to stand up high

If you need a shoulder, lean on mine

If you need a promise, here’s my sign

I’m not just passing through your town

I’m planting both my feet in the ground

I wanna be your man of steel

Hold you up when the night turns real

If the whole world bends, I won’t fold

Baby, I’m built to hold

Take your hurt and make it heal

Come what may, I’m staying still

I wanna be your man of steel

Your mama said I’ve got rough hands

I said, “Yeah, but I work on what I can”

I know a heart can learn to stay

Even after getting knocked away

So put your fear in my front seat

We’ll outrun the things that used to beat

I’m not a dream that drifts and fades

I’m the line that holds when the wind gets raised

If you need a shoulder, lean on mine

If you need a promise, here’s my sign

I’m not just passing through your town

I’m planting both my feet in the ground

I wanna be your man of steel

Hold you up when the night turns real

If the whole world bends, I won’t fold

Baby, I’m built to hold

Take your hurt and make it heal

Come what may, I’m staying still

I wanna be your man of steel

Let the hard times come

Let the rain come down

I’ll be the frame

When it shakes this town

No pretty words, just a true blue vow

I’m here now

I’m here now

I wanna be your man of steel

Hold you up when the night turns real

If the whole world bends, I won’t fold

Baby, I’m built to hold

Take your hurt and make it heal

Come what may, I’m staying still

I wanna be your man of steel
