Rodney Atkins -The Man I Am Today

Lyrics

When I was smaller wishing I was taller
I woke up one morning and my momma was gone
I tried to talk to my father
He told me not to bother him
He said boy being a man means being strong
Now leave me alone

So you say you wanna see behind this curtain
You wanna know why I don't show it when I'm hurting
It never did me any good before
So long ago I locked that door
But please don't think I'm pushing you away
It's just the man I am today

Before I was loved by you
Girl I didn't know how to
'Cause love was nothing to me but a four letter word
But I've learned being strong
Don't mean being alone
So baby just hold on girl and soon you're gonna know
The man I'll be tomorrow

You say you wanna see behind this curtain
You wanna know why I don't show it when I'm hurting
It never did me any good before
So long ago I locked that door
But please don't think I'm pushing you away
It's just the man I am today

It never did me any good before
So long ago I locked that door
But please don't think I'm pushing you away
It's just the man I am today

I don't wanna stay this way
I'm not gonna stay this way
The man I am today
I ain't gonna stay this way

I'm 15 and my dad and my mom devoriced. When I was about five I have a crap ton of memorys good and bad with my father but in the past 3 or 4 years he refused to see me and its all about his "new family" so I've shut that door. Nobody really get why I do the things I do why I act who I act but I'm trying to be like him. I love that man I call my father so much I would do anything to beable to be with him and relive some of those memories with him. To bad I locked that door :/

[MultiDarkSlayer]

@kyky403 yea there would be a lot more songs you don't hear on the radio if people would just listen to the lyrics instead of just the music to claim they are country

[kyky403]

@MultiDarkSlayer it needs to be but the typical ppl who listen to country dont listen to the lyrics its just the song so they can claim they're "country" its retarded if ppl listened to the lyrics it would be on the radio all the time!
