Men

Prompt / Lyrics
Jeans only had holes after work. 
And that’s when your boots would get scuffed up. 
You used to stand to shake a hand. 
And stand up for our troops. 
When that flag of ours flew high,
You had pride
Felt it right down to your roots. 
But these days,
Somethins changed. 
And it ain’t for the best ways. 

What happened to when. 
Men could be men. 
Unapologetically stuck in their ways. 
None of this PG shit we got these days. 
Where a joke was a joke. 
And no body got all red assed about it. 
When you knew where he stood. 
Just by the way he acted. 
And professional was just gettin the job done. 
Work hard and play harder son! 

You know back when we’d run our mouths,
Some times we’d cross a line. 
And we got put in our place. 
Even if it meant steppin outside. 
But you didn’t run and you didn’t hide. 
You didn’t run to H.R. or you momma to cry. 
You just tried your best to stand the test. 
And if you had to tote an ass whoopin,
It was a better lesson than any you’d learned yet. 

What happened to when. 
Men could be men. 
Unapologetically stuck in their ways. 
None of this PG shit we got these days. 
Where a joke was a joke. 
And no body got all red assed about it. 
When you knew where he stood. 
Just by the way he acted. 
And professional was just gettin the job done. 
Work hard and play harder son! 

Whether your collars blue or its white. 
It didn’t matter you stood up for what was right. 
And cold beer or a swig a whiskey. 
Was how you ended your day. 
And whether you smoked cigars
Or Marlboro Reds. 
You never was afraid of what that doctor man said. 
You just did what you had to do. 

What happened to when. 
Men could be men. 
Unapologetically stuck in their ways. 
None of this PG shit we got these days. 
Where a joke was a joke. 
And no body got all red assed about it. 
When you knew where he stood. 
Just by the way he acted. 
And professional was just gettin the job done. 
Work hard and play harder son! 

Back when a man could be a man!
