TO BECOME A MAN
Trent McCoy 3/22/2019

V1

NO PLANS FOR THE FUTURE, NO FUTURE WITHOUT PLANS
SOMEHOW THE BOY OF YESTERDAY WITHOUT CHOICE
BECOMES A MAN – SO MANY THINGS HE WANTS TO KNOW
SO FEW, HE UNDERSTANDS – WHAT PRICE HE MUST PAY
TO BECOME A MAN

V2

OH TIMES THE GREATEST TEACHER, SOMEHOW HE’LL MAKE
IT THROUGH - HE’LL LEARN AS HE GOES ALONG THE THINGS
THAT HE MUST DO, AND EVEN THOUGH IT’S GONNA TAKE SOME
TIME, WELL TIME IS ALL HE HAS – TO KNOW THAT HE’S PAID
THE PRICE, TO BECOME A MAN

(BRIDGE) NO GUARANTEES ON TOMORROW, YESTERDAYS ALREADY PAST – HOLD YOUR HEAD UP AS YOU GO, SON, THE BAD TIMES THEY NEVER LAST

V3

THEN ONE DAY HE’LL REALIZE, AS HE WATCHES HIS CHILDREN GROW, IT WASN’T ALL THAT COMPLICATED IT WAS THE BOY IN HIM THAT THOUGHT SO, AND WHEN HE TUCKS HIS KIDS IN BED AT NIGHT, AND BY THEIR BEDSIDE STANDS HE KNOWS HE’S PAID THE PRICE TO BECOME A MAN

(END) YES HE KNOWS HE’S PAID THE PRICE TO BECOME A MAN
