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
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
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 a house
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
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
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 a house
Just a boy trying to be the man of a house
Married my girl and we had a few babies
Tryna give them the childhood life never gave me
Well they probably can't tell but I'm still telling myself
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 a house
Just a boy trying to be the man of a house
Still a boy trying to be the man of a house
