a man was born

Luke Combs

I thought it happened
when I took that first sip out of a tall boy
Thought: Boy, ain t you tough?
They couldn t tell me nothin
when I got the keys to somethin
That can take seventeen me where that drag strip was
But loose gravel don t love trucks
Thought I was all grown up, but

I found out fast that life can put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world s right in your face
When you re down upsides, too late to hit them brakes
Man near died, but a man was born that day

And that smoky college bong, I saw her on his arm
And that seein red, whiskey said: Throw the first punch
Next thing you know, I woke up
Thought I could take anyone, but

I found out fast that life can put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world s right in your face
Found out real quick why sometimes you walk away
Swallow your pride, but a man was born that day

Yeah, we had a plan now
Names written down in a room half wrote in blue paint
Oh, but in the kitchen that day

I found out fast that life can put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world s right in your face
Tears wellin up in her eyes, that ll make a heart break
No pink lines, but a man was born that day
