[Verse 1]
Blue collar, works hard, and raised on religion
He prays for his family and hates on the system
She'd say
"He’s come a long way"
[Verse 2]
His patience was thin, and his knuckles were calloused
She'd hold the ice, help him regain his balance
She prayed
And God showed him the way
[Pre-Chorus]
Broken things take time to fix
How did he end up like this?
[Chorus]
I don't know how a drunk on his knees in the bathroom
Falls to his knees in a church
I don’t know how picking a fight with a stranger
Becomes picking up the kids after work
I don't know how a dead end turns to a husband
Who loves her with all that hе's got
I don't know
I'm not sure he evеn knows
[Verse 3]
He dropped out of high school, met the girl, had a daughter
At thirty-five, found out that he was adopted
He tried
'Til he finally got it right
[Pre-Chorus]
Broken things take time to fix
How did he end up like this?
[Chorus]
I don't know how a drunk on his knees in the bathroom
Falls to his knees in a church
I don't know how picking a fight with a stranger
Becomes picking up the kids after work
I don’t know how a dead end turns to a husband
Who loves her with all that he’s got
I don't know
I’m not sure he even knows
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
I don't know
I'm not sure he even knows
[Outro]
Blue collar, works hard, and raised on religion
He prays for his family and hates on the system
I'd say
"He’s come a long way"
