What A Man Does
© 2019 Kenny Leverett

Wake up to a noise around six a.m.
Can’t remember much about where I am
See her digging in her bag
For more trucker speed
First time it hits me
That I’m out of my league

If you keep chasing around
All these one night stands
One day you’ll realize
What your Poppa had to say
So long ago when he sent you on your way
About being a man
That ain’t being a man
That’s not what a man does

Sometimes can’t believe how I’m still alive
Never got the hang of doing nine to five
Grew up watching a man in pain
Breaking his back for very little gain
I couldn’t wait to be out on my own
Find my freedom and stand alone

If you keep chasing around
Where there’s no good to be found
One day you’ll realize
What your Poppa had to say
So long ago when he sent you on your way
About being a man
That ain’t being a man
That’s not what a man does

One day you’ll realize
What your Poppa had to say
So long ago when he sent you on your way
About being a man
That ain’t being a man
That’s not what a man does
