Man I Am Today

It's a kiss from Katie on the swing set
When I was in third grade
Teacher making me sit from recess
When I would mis-behave

It's a long haul to see my grandma
During the holidays
I can tell my momma loved Jesus
By the way that she said grace

It's a spring break
For me and my buddies that had to go our own way
Sunday, that I got saved
It's a class ring
That we never bought 'cause we thought we'd win state
But it didn't turn out that way
I can't complain, it's how I became
The man I am today

It's a fast lane headed down the interstate
A long way from home
Loaded down with a truck full of memories
The only thing I've ever owned
It's a late night, bar fights coming in
Getting pizza at 3 A.M.

Falling in and out of love with my girlfriend
Asking God to forgive my sins again
And again

It's the four years
Everybody says your supposed to find yourself
And they were the best

There's the lonely tears
That I cried that night when I saw my dad die
But I know he's in a better place
So I can't complain, it's how I became
The man I am today

'Cause the good Lord always seems to have a funny way
Of making you look back on your life and say
It's the white dress
Walking down the isle the day I said I do
Watching our boy take his first breath

It's the true love
That made it through the years
And started on a swing set
I know that I am truly blessed

So I can't complain
I wouldn't change a thing
It's how I became
The man I am today
The man I am today

It's a kiss from Katie on the swing set
When I was in third grade
