Man I Am Today

Its a kiss from katie on the swing set
When I was in 3rd grade
Teacher making me sit from recess
When I would mis-behave

Its a long haul to see my grandma
During the holidays
I can tell my momma loved Jesus
By the way she said grace

Its a spring break
For me and my buddies that had to go our own way
Sunday, that I got saved
Its a class ring, that we never bought
Cause we thought we'd win state
But it didn't turn out that way
I can't complain, its how it became
The man I am today

Its a fast lane headed down the interstate
A long way from home
Loaded down with a truck full of memories
The only thing I've ever owned

Its a late night, bar fights coming in
Getting pizza at 3 am
Falling in and out of love with my girlfriend
Asking God to forgive my sins again
And again

Its the four years, everybody says
Your supposed to find yourself
And they were the best
There's the lonely tears that I cried
That night when I saw my dad die
But I know hes in a better place

So I can't complain, its how I became
The man I am today
Cause the good lord always seems
To have a funny way
Of making you look back
On your life and say

Its the white dress, walking down
The isle the day I said I do
Watching our boy take his first breath

Its the true love, that made it
Through the years and started on a swing set
I know that I am truly blessed

So I can't complain, wouldn't change a thing
Its how I became
The man I am today
The man I am today
Its a kiss from katie on the swing set
When I was in 3rd grade
