I can still recall a time You were not so far behind You were only fifteen And you still had peace of mind
Now you're pushing thirty-one Duty calls, you cut and run When will this be over with When will you be gone?
Be a man, try to be tough Once is never quite enough Give me twenty minutes in between If you know what I mean You gotta give if you wanna get Never let 'em see you sweat You may cry and you may bleed But only take the punches you need
Why do you back down In the face of a big fight? I kick myself for caring about you You may one day go the distance Or you might come around You can kill yourself Or you can make your mama proud
When you get the energy You can place a call to me My number's in the phone book And I'm not too hard to find
I still live in the same old place I still got that same old face I can give you more than twenty minutes of my time
Be a man, try to be tough Once is never quite enough Give me twenty minutes in between
Why do you back down In the face of a big fight? I kick myself for caring about you You may one day go the distance Or you might come around You can kill yourself Or you can make your mama proud You can kill yourself Or you can make your mama proud You can kill yourself Or you can make your mama proud
