Ian Matthew Harper - The Man Lyrics

I want to be the man who comes home every night
Who doesn't want to hurt himself or ever cause a fight
Who can always be there to make sure everything goes alright
I want to be the man who comes home every night

I want to earn my blue collar working in a factory
Won't head home until the job is done satisfactory
Knowing I could be a star, but that ain't the life for me
I want to earn my blue collar working in a factory

Everytime I try to leave it, the strings just call my name
There'll always be a song I have to sing
I'll never have a loving wife, I know I can't be tamed
That's why I'm not the man that I want to be

I want to have some kids that can call me pa
And wake up with some orange juice without alcohol
Be there every friday to watch my sons play ball
I want to have some kids that can call me pa

Everytime I try to leave it, the strings just call my name
There'll always be a song I have to sing
I'll never have a loving wife, I know I can't be tamed
That's why I'm not the man that I want to be
