Man of the House lyrics
This song is about a young boy who is forced to grow up too quickly, often taking on the role of an adult to help out his struggling and exhausted single mother. Despite the difficulties of the situation, he strives to remain strong and to be a rock for his family no matter how hard it may seem. Years later, he is married with children of his own, determined to give them a better life than the one he had and to be the man of the house for them.

Had to grow up before I started shaving
More worried about mama than running and playing outside
She didn't sleep at night, I guess neither did I
I don't know how she did, what she did but, she did it
Knew someone was missing but, for her, I hid it
She had enough on her plate, so I tried to take his placeBe strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
She won't tell you but, she needs you
And you can't let her down
So, hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when you feel like sand
It turns out, all I was back then is all that I am now
Just a boy trying to be the man of the houseSomeone new shows up with some flowers
They go out for a couple of hours
Home alone's fun for any other kid
But I couldn't watch her go through it again
Tryin' to fill shoes that ain't my size
But, the world don't give a damn about the age of the dog in the fightSo, be strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
She can't tell you but, she needs you
And you can't let her down
Hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when you feel like sand
It turns out all I was back then, is all that I am now
Just a boy trying to be the man of the houseJust a boy trying to be the man of the house
Married my girl and we had a few babies
Trying to give them the childhood life never gave me
Know they probably can't tell
That I'm still telling myselfBe strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
They can't tell you but, they need you
And you can't let 'em down
So, hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when you feel like sand
It turns out all I was back then is all that I am now
Just a boy trying to be the man of the houseJust a boy trying to be the man of the house
Still a boy trying to be the man of the house
