Son, someday you'll find yourself turning sixteen
You'll turn the key, keepin' ten
and two till I fade from your radio
You'll hit the two lane straightaway and crank your radio
Drop that hammer down to the floor
just to see how fast you'll go

And you'll smile, thinkin' I don't know but I know
All the chances you'll take, the wrong turns you'll make
The hearts and the rules and the bones you'll break
'Cause you've got something to prove
All the trouble you'll chase, all the hell you'll raise
Every single day I pray
that I get through to the man part of you

You'll turn off that highway down her county road
Feel heartbreak for the first time
'cause that ain't your truck in her drive
You'll wanna grab that bottle off my bottom shelf
Turn it up till you think it helps
But boy, don't do that to yourself
You'll cry thinkin' I don't know but I know

All the chances you'll take, the wrong turns you'll make
The hearts and the rules and the bones you'll break
'Cause you've got something to prove
All the trouble you'll chase, all the hell you'll raise
Every single day I pray
that I get through to the man part of you

Yeah, I rode the same road
Boy, I've been in your boots
Yeah, I know me and I know you

And all the chances you'll take, the wrong turns you'll make
The hearts and the rules and the bones you'll break
'Cause you've got something to prove
All the trouble you'll chase and all the hell you'll raise
Every single day I pray
that I get through to the man part of you

He man part of you
