Backstory:
Mitch came up with the title/hook idea. We wanted to write a story that singles in their 20's could identify with. There comes a time when most of us get tired of the singles/bar hopping scene and want the American Dream. We also have a version in which the singer has a baby boy instead of a baby girl, if that is more identifiable. Hope you enjoy!
Lyrics:
MAKIN' A MAN OUT OF ME
c2007 Donna Opfer/Mitch Townley
I used to hook up at bars
Burn my check on fast times fast cars
Get up Saturday around noon
Hit the gym then pick up drive-thru
But now I'd rather hang around the house
With my lady and cuddle on the couch
Bought a Honda got a 401k
Spend my weekends fixin' up the place
My baby’s makin' a man out of me
Her love is changing my priorities
Oh I hurry home to hold her do my best to show her
There's no place my heart would rather be
Yeah my baby’s makin' a man out of me
I’m back in college I got a five year plan
Making payments on a ring for her left hand
Set the date for the second of June
Savin’ up for our honeymoon cruise
CHORUS
May 4th two years later
I fell for another girl
She's 7 lbs 2 oz
And she’s rockin’ my world
CHORUS
