(hummmm) Yeah, listen close
Look at the redbird up in the pine He don't ask for
much, just a branch and some time
Singing his song to the rising sun Knowing his work has already
begun He don't boast,
he don't pick a fight
Just keeps his family safe
through the night
My daddy told me looking down at his toes
The way that a man walks is the way that he grows
Put your weight in the leather of some worn-out boots Keep your
eyes on the sky but remember your roots A real man don't
yell, he just stands his ground
Like a hawk on the wind making never a sound Yeah,
you build up a home and you protect what you love With
the strength in your step and the grace of a dove
These working-man heels have seen miles of clay Carrying burdens at the
end of the day But I watch the wild geese fly in
a line Nobody's boasting,
they're doing just fine They share all the wind,
they fly as a team That's how a man oughta build up
his dream
Put your weight in the leather of some worn-out boots Keep your
eyes on the sky but remember your roots A real man don't
yell, he just stands his ground Like a hawk on the wind
making never a sound
Yeah, you build up a home and you protect what you love
With the strength in your step and the grace of a dove
Keep your boots in the dirt
Keep your eyes on the sky (hummmm)
