Man of the Hour

[Verse 1] I had a pocket full of diamonds, but I let 'em slip away Chased a dream down a dead-end street, thought I’d make it anyway Loved the good ones like a fool does, never knew just what I had And the bad ones, oh, they burned me, left me empty, broke, and mad [Pre-Chorus] But I ain't cryin’, ain't complainin’ Life’s a lesson, man, it’s trainin’ Every wrong turn’s just a chapter in the book [Chorus] I wanna be the man of the hour Stand tall in the wind, don’t cower Know when to hold, when to walk away Learn from the heartaches, don’t let ‘em stay Find me a woman who’s worth my time Not just a moment, but a love that shines Yeah, I wanna be the man of the hour [Verse 2] Whiskey nights and wasted money, thought I had it figured out Fast cars, late bars, leavin’ love behind in doubt I let my mama down, let my old man down, too They both told me, "Son, don’t be a fool" [Pre-Chorus] But I ain't drownin', ain't defeated Took my knocks, but I'm still breathin' Every heartbreak makes the next love feel brand new [Chorus] I wanna be the man of the hour Stand tall in the wind, don’t cower Know when to fight, when to walk away Learn from the heartaches, don’t let ‘em stay Find me a woman who’s worth my time Not just a moment, but a love that shines Yeah, I wanna be the man of the hour [Bridge] It ain't about what you got in your hand It's about what you hold in your heart And a man ain't a man by the women he's had But by knowing when to restart [Final Chorus] Now I’m the man of the hour Stand tall in the wind, got power Know when to love, when to walk away Learned from the heartaches, made ‘em pay Found me a woman who’s worth my time Not just a moment, but a love that shines Yeah, I’m gonna be the man of the hour [Outro] Ain’t lookin’ back now, no more runnin’ Got my feet on the ground, heart beatin’ strong The past was a lesson, the future’s a diamond And I know just where I belong
