The Part They Don’t Tell You

They told me I might get into

a fender bend when I was first

learning how to drive that truck

They told me that I need to know

how to change a tire and how to be

a first time home buyer

They told me I need to get up and go to work

be a worker bee make some money

to always have it to spoil your honey

They say

that one day you’re gonna be movin’ out

settlin’ down and it’ll all work out

no need to be scared now

just enjoy it while you can

live for it and you’ll understand

gotta be able to be a man

but the part they don’t tell you

is that when she leaves it might hurt

but you’ll always feel the burn

don’t throw the first punch

sticks and stones will break your bones

don’t back down stay

and stand your ground

don’t worry you have angels lookin down

They say

that one day you’re gonna be movin’ out

settling down and it’ll all work out

no need to be scared now

just enjoy it while you can

live for it and you’ll understand

gotta be able to be a man

but the part they don’t tell you

is that when she leaves it might hurt

but you’ll always feel the burn

i can’t keep pouring whiskey over ice

i can’t keep trying to be alright

cause what they don’t tell you

is that there’s not much you can do

no one was wrong or right

it’s just her memory haunting me tonight

They say

that one day you’re gonna be movin’ out

settling down and it’ll all work out

no need to be scared now

just enjoy it while you can

live for it and you’ll understand

gotta be able to be a man

but the part they don’t tell you

is that when she leaves it might hurt

but you’ll always feel the burn
