[D]Saw a story on the local [A]news last night
About [G]one more struggling single mother
She was [D]talking about how hard it is getting [A]by
With no help, no money, [G]no nothing from the baby's father
Made me [D]think about this guy I know with a [A]wife and a child
Who's working [G]two jobs just to get by
Yeah, he [D]says he'd do anything he could in this w[A]orld
Just to give his young family a [G]better life
Yeah, a [A]better life
[D]Ooo[G]oh, that's a [A]man
That's a [D]19-year-old, [G]modern-day hero [A]man
[D]Those two young Marines over there [A]fighting for their country
[G]Man, they're gonna be friends forever
They've [D]both come back eventually
But as [A]bonds and destiny would have it
[G]They don't come back together
Yeah, the [D]one who lived to tell about
Why [A]he can't even talk about it
Keeps [G]fighting that fight up there in his head
Ain't a [D]day goes by he don't wonder [A]why
Why it wasn't [G]me instead
It could've been [A]me instead
[D]Ooo[G]oh, that's a [A]man
That's a [D]you don't know how hard he tried
To [G]save his buddy's life [A]man
I[Bm] don't know about [G]you
Sometimes, [D]I just need a little re[A]minder
And re[G]ach down and find some understan[A]ding
Find some kind of kindness[D]
[D] [G] [A]
[D]
[D]Read about a man who said his [A]family
Had been farming the same land in [G]Ohio for 100 years
[D]Felt like he'd paid for it t[A]en times over
With [G]his own blood, his own sweat, and his own tears
[D]If he had to, he'd be out there on that tractor wor[A]king
Seven [G]long, hot days a week
Yeah, [D]he's the kind of feller that people get real [A]quiet
When he stands up in [G]church to speak
They know when he sp[A]eaks
[D]Ooo[G]oh, that's a [A]man
That's a [D]stand tall, walk straight
Put [G]God's share in the collection plate [A]man
[D]Ooo[G]oh, that's a [A]man
[D]Ooo[G]oh, that's a [A]man
