Just a Man Tom MacDonald

[Verse 1]
It's a cold place, work to death 'til the loans paid
You drive to work and punch the clock and break your back for low wage
Weekends full of cocaine, get drunk 'til you don't know pain
Reminisce with your old friends by old times in the old days
Old flames all burnt out like a barbecue with no propane
Been a bumpy ride through a rough time, but you a tough guy, and you won't break
Had enough nights full of blood and sweat, least you know how both taste
Had to cut ties in your love life 'cause your dumb fights left broke plates
Your bros changed, your folks aged, your own grave in close range
You so brave, you stoneface, there's no shame if you show pain
You bones ain't got no faith, so God lets you live your way
Go tell the bathroom mirror what you won't pray to your own face

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't fast like a speeding bullet
I ain't strong like a hurricane
I ain't as big as the bridge to Brooklyn
Just a man that my father raised

[Chorus]
They can lock me up, they can beat me down
They can take my truck, they can take my house
Mama made me tough, I'ma make her proud
'Cause when life gets rough, I will stand my ground
