Corey Kent Man Of The House Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Had to grow up before I started shaving
More worried about mama
Than running and playing outside
She didn't sleep at night, I guess neither did I

[Verse 2]
I don't know how she did what she did, but she did it
Knew someone was missing but for her I hid it
She had enough on her plate, so I tried to take his place
[Chorus]
Be strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
She won't tell you but she needs you
And you can't let her down
So hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when you feel like sand
Turns out all I was back then is all that I am now
Just a boy trying to be the man of the house

[Verse 3]
Someone new shows up with some flowers
They go out for a couple of hours
Home alone's fun for any other kid
But I couldn't watch her go through it again

[Verse 4]
Tryna fill shoes that ain't my size
But the world don't give a damn about the age of the dog in the fight [Chorus]
Be strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
She won't tell you but she needs you
And you can't let her down
So hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when you feel like sand
Turns out all I was back then is all that I am now
Just a boy trying to be the man of the house
Just a boy trying to be the man of the house
[Verse 5]
Married my girl and we had a few babies
Tryna give them the childhood life never gave me
Though they probably can't tell but I'm still telling myself

[Chorus]
Be strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
They can't tell you but they need you
And you can't let 'em down
So hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when you feel like sand
Turns out all I was back then is all that I am now
Just a boy trying to be the man of the house
Just a boy trying to be the man of the house

[Outro]
Still a boy trying to be the man of the house
