You got everything a man could want
not to mention what a man might need
A house on the hill, two kids in yard
and people for who you would bleed
You’re always lookin’ for blood, you’re itchin’ for a fight
Hard to believe but a punch in the face ain’t gonna set you right
CHORUS
It’s all temporary.
It’s all gonna end one day.
We’re all going down one way.
Someday
There’s ain’t no switch you can flip to right your wrongs.
You break it you bought it, well you broke it and it’s long gone.
Long gone
Being a man ain’t about having a stiff upper lip.
It’s just settin’ ‘em up and knocking ’em down.
A day and a day and a day and another.
A day and a day and another
CHORUS --
