Life can be tough sometimes
It can really mess your head
I remember some of Dad's advice
This is what he said

Take it like a man, son
You've got to take it like a man
No matter what life throws your way
You've got to do the best you can
Take it like a man, son
You've got to show 'em who you are
If all you do is turn and run
You'll never get that far

I got fired from my job
But, I know it's not my fault
I just listened to my Daddy's words
And the lesson that he taught

Instead of feeling sorry
I shot back at him instead
I told him of my Dad's advice
And this is what I said...


Take it like a man, son
You've got to take it like a man
No matter what life throws your way
You've got to do the best you can
Take it like a man, son
You've got to show 'em who you are
If all you do is turn and run
You'll never get that far



Never sit and cry 'bout things
You've got to do the best you can
Never show a weakness
You've got to take it like a man

I broke up with my girl.....again
For the fourteenth time this year
But, this time I'm not crawling back
This time she will hear....

Take it like a man, son
You've got to take it like a man
No matter what life throws your way
You've got to do the best you can
Take it like a man, son
You've got to show 'em who you are
If all you do is turn and run
You'll never get that far

You'll never be a leader
If you turn and hide away
Nobody will follow you
Unless they hear you say...

Take it like a man, son
You've got to take it like a man
No matter what life throws your way
You've got to do the best you can
Take it like a man, son
You've got to show 'em who you are
If all you do is turn and run
You'll never get that far
