We Shook Hands Man To Man

I always noticed they didnt get along,
I thought that was just the was it was,nothin really wrong.
I came home from school one day and my dad took me a side
I've never seen him cry before it tore me up inside
and he said son we need to have a lil man to man
Your old enough now to understand,
inspite of all our dreams and the best of plans
your mom and i dont see eye to eye.
She thinks its best for her to go
Wi'll have to get along without her how i dont know
He said boy i'll need ur help
and then we shook hands man to man.

Lord knows those next few years were rough
A test of will's it was hard on both of us
I turned 18 and i wouldnt listen to easy
he wanted what was best for me
I just wanted freedom

And i said dad, we need to have a little man to man
I'll always love you
and i hope u understand,
inspite of all ur dreams for me and the best of plans
you and I dont see eye to eye
I think its time for me to go
U'll get along without me, i no
and before i left i tried to shake his hand
Man to man

I remember the night i sat there watchin him fade
and i'll always be thankful for the peace we made
and he said son we need to have a lil man to man
I've always love you and i need u understand
Im glad you lived your dreams and made your own plans
and i hope u always knew how proud i was of you
Looks like its time for me to go
You'll get along without me,i know
and then i kissed his cheek and we held hands
man to man
man to man
man to man
