Lyrics:

                                                  
To say these days are complicated
Ain’t really how I’d say it
It seems the whole damn world has lost it’s mind 
But for a simple guy like me just trying 
To do the next good thing I’m findin’
The list of good gets longer all the time
And I’m just tryin to get it right

Man these days, you gotta do it all but not too much  
Be everything, hard like a rock but soft to touch
Know how to love and how you don’t
To slay the dragon or let him go
How to say please and thanks, 
To know your fist ain’t your greatest strength
That’s a little bit of what it takes
To be a man, these days

Ballet starts at 8 PM
So I leave the tractor stuck again, and
Haul ass down the road so I’m not late
Tomorrow I play soccer mom
Carpool-taxi, mow the lawn
So the tractor and the hole will have to wait
And I’m still tryin to get it right

Man these days, you gotta do it all but not too much  
Be everything, hard like a rock but soft to touch
Know how to love and how you don’t
To slay the dragon or let him go
How to say please and thanks, 
To know your fist ain’t your greatest strength
That’s a little bit of what it takes
To be a man, these days
 
Grandma washed and Grandpa dried
They drowned some worms from time to time
Her job was cookin’ at the church
For free cause that was Jesus work
He paid all the bills and stuff
She built a home of life and love
Somehow then that was enough
Back when “woke” just meant, I’m up

Oh, man these days, you gotta do it all but not too much  
Be everything, hard like a rock but soft to touch
Know how to love and how you don’t
To slay the dragon or let him go
How to say please and thanks, 
To know your fist ain’t your greatest strength
That’s a little bit of what it takes
To be a man, these days
To be a man, these days, yeah
