“What Kind Of Man Does That?”
A man and his young family
Lived in the poor part of town
Stories of all-night fighting
Began to spread around
He spent his pay on bets and beer
And runnin’ around on her
Then one day he up and left
Without saying a word
What Kind Of Man Does That?
Walk out on his wife and kids
Leave ’em with nothing but the clothes on their backs
How could he live with what he did:
Hurt ’em all that bad
What Kind Of Man Does That?
Two years later the young mom met
A good man who shared her dreams
He said, “I take you and your three kids,”
As he gave her a wedding ring
They all played and read, he kept ’em fed.
He worked two jobs every day
It was tough at times for that young man
But no matter what he stayed
What Kind Of Man Does That?
Take in another man’s kids
Love ’em all, be their Dad,
And give them what he did:
The best life they ever had
What Kind Of Man Does That?
Oughta put that humble hero
In the Fathers’ Hall of Fame
What Kind Of Man Does That?
Take in another man’s kids
Love em all, be their Dad
And give ’em what he did:
The best life they ever had
What Kind Of Man Does That?
What Kind Of Man Does That?
