I can still recall a time you were not so far behind

You were only 15 and you still had piece of mind

Now you're pushing 31, duty call you come and run

When will this be over? When, when will you be gone?



Chorus 1:

I'll be your man child to be tough

Once is never quite enough

Giving twenty minutes in between



If you know what I mean



You gotta give if you wanna get

Never let 'em see you sweat

You may cry and you may bleed

But only if the punch is from me



Chorus 2:

Why do you back down in the face of a fist fight?

I kick myself for caring about you

You may one day go the distance

You might come around

If you be yourself, well you can make your mama proud



When you get the energy

You can place a call to me

My number's in the phone book

And I'm not that hard to find

I still live in the same old place

I still have the same old face

I can give you more than twenty minutes of my time



Chorus 1



Chorus 2
