We Shook Hands (Man to Man) - BFM Hits

I always noticed

They didn't get along

I thought was just the way it was

Nothin' really wrong

I came home from school one day

And my dad took me aside

I'd never seen him cry before

It tore me up inside

When he said

Son

We need to have a little man to man

Your old enough now

To understand

Inspite of all our dreams

And the best of plans

Your mom and I

Don't see eye to eye

She thinks it's best for her to go

We'll have to get along without her

How I don't know

He said boy I'll need your help

Then we shook hands

Man to man

Lord know those next few years were rough

A test of wills

It was hard on both of us

I turned 18

And I wouldn't listen to easy

He wanted what was best for me

And I just wanted freedom

And I said

Dad

We need to have a little man to man

I'll always love you

And I hope you understand

Inspite of all your dreams for me

And the best of plans

You and I

Don't see eye to eye

I think it's time for me to go

You'll get along without me

I know

And before I left

I tried to shake his hand

Man to man

I remember the night

I sat there watching him fade

And I'll always be thankful

For the peace we made

He said

Son

We need to have a little man to man

I've always loved you

I need you to understand

I'm glad you lived your dreams

And made your own plans

And I hope you always knew

How proud I was of you

Looks like it's time for me to go

You'll get along without me

I know

And then I kissed his cheek

And we held hands

Man to man

Man to man

Man to man
