Still Standin' Like a Man

[Introduction: 4 Bars Throwback 1970s Outlaw Country Telecaster, Deep Throbbing Electric Bass Guitar, Honky Tonk Piano] [Verse 1] Standin' outside in the rain. Feelin' nothin' but the pain. In the middle of the night. Barely Survivin' the fight. Blood drippin' from broken hands Standin' on his own two feet. Hardly got the strength to stand. [Pre-Chorus] He's still standin' like a man. His principles unbroken. Yeah, standin' up for whats right. Means sometimes you gotta fight. [Chorus] He won’t bow and he won’t break, Got more scars than he can take. But he’s standin’ in the wind, Holdin’ on and he won't bend. When the world comes and cuts deep, All his promises he'll keep. ’Cause a real man won't back down, Even if beat to the ground. [Interlude: 4 Bars Throwback 1970s Outlaw Country Telecaster, Deep Throbbing Electric Bass Guitar, Honky Tonk Piano] [Verse 2] Grew up rough in a cow town. Every bully knocked him down. But he grew up tough and wild. Learned to scrap for every meal. Learned to fight and not to feel. Never learned to be gentle. Only learned to be hurtful. [Bridge] But one day came an angel. Saw him get caught in a tangle. Bound up his wounds and healed his pride. Fell in love makin' her his bride. Then came an awful real bad day. Drunk man tried takin' love away. Time to stand up and fight! Time to stand up for what's right! [Chorus] He didn't bow and he didn't break, Added more scars than he can take. But he stood in the wind, Held on and didn't bend. As the world came and cut deep, All his promises he did keep. ’Cause a real man didn't back down, Even when beat to the ground. [Musical Outro Ad-Libbed Lines from Chorus. Fade]
