Letras de A Man Was Born

I thought it happened when I took that first sip
Out of a tall boy, thought, "Boy, ain′t you tough?"
They couldn't tell me nothin′ when I got the keys to somethin'
That could take 17 me where that drag strip was

But loose gravel don't love trucks
Thought I was all grown up, but

I found out fast that life will put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world′s right in your face
When you′re down, upside's too late to hit them brakes
Damn near died, but a man was born that day

At that smoky college bar, I saw her on his arm
That seeing red, whiskey said, "Throw the first punch"
Next thing you know, I woke up
Thought I could take anyone, but

I found out fast that life will put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world′s right in your face
Found out real quick why sometimes you walk away
Swallow your pride, but a man was born that day

Yeah, we had it planned out, names written down
In a room half-wrote in blue ink
Oh, but in the kitchen that day

I found out fast that life will put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world's right in your face
Tears wellin′ up in her eyes, that'll make a heart break
No faint lines, but a man was born that day
