Domesticated Man

Verse 1
All my life I’ve been a ramblin man
By the time I was 10 I had a guitar in my hand
Chasing that song and chasing that star
Now I’m chasing kids around my backyard
This isn’t the life I thought I would chose
But its the life I would hate to lose

Verse 2
Out on the road I was 6 months gone
All I could dream about was coming home
Huggin my kids, kissin my wife
Make a little lovin on a Saturday night
Drink a few beers with my buddies in town
My momma always prayed one day I’d settle down

Chorus
I never thought this would happen to me
Stopped raising hell to raise a little family
I know it’s hard to understand
How a wild child could become a domesticated man

Verse 3
Most of my life I never saw a sun rise
I woke up late morning with bloodshot eyes
Nowadays I’m up before dawn
To scramble up the eggs and turn the coffee pot on
I’m headed to town baby what do you need?
Could you get a box of tampons from the Pharmacy

Chorus
I never thought this would happen to me
Stopped raising hell to raise a little family
I know it’s hard to understand how a wild child could become a domesticated man
