Man's Gotta Do

Well, his Daddy sat him down, when he was just a kid
Said listen to me loud my son to how it is
Your Mom and me we tried, we just can't get along
I know you've heard her cry but son it ain't your fault
Well, I ain't gonna be around so you'll have to take the reins
Boy, I know you're scared right now but you're gonna do great

Sometimes the ride don't go as you planned
No matter how hard you try, it's outta your hands
And sometimes life shows up long before you want it to
And sometimes a boy's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Well, the years went flyin' by just like his muscle car
And Katie asked him for a ride and in that backseat they took it too far
Barely seventeen, Katie's three weeks late
So he went and got a job told his Mom graduation will have to wait

'Cause sometimes the ride don't go as you planned
No matter how hard you try, it's outta your hands
And sometimes life shows up long before you want it to
And sometimes a boy's gotta do what a man's gotta do, oh yeah

Now he still can't buy a drink, but he bought a diamond for her hand
He's shippin' off in fourteen days to a foreign land

I guess sometimes the ride don't go as you planned
No matter how hard you try, it's outta your hands
And sometimes life shows up long before you want it to
And sometimes a boy's gotta do what a man's gotta do
