What Makes a Man

[Intro: Ben Rector]

One, two

[Verse 1: Ben Rector]

Well, my father

He'll never see his name in lights

Worked at a desk his whole damn life

Didn't chase his dreams

Gave himself so me and my sisters would be alright

Sometimes I wonder

They'll say of me when I am gone

When my daughters livin' on, yeah

Will she care if strangers thought that I was famous

Or just that I was never home?

[Chorus: Ben Rector]

Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?

Chasin' down some dream you'vе been imaginin'?

Or is it makin' peace with who you are and whеre you stand?

I'm tryin' to find what makes a man

Oh, woah, oh

What makes a man

[Verse 2: Thomas Rhett]

If I'm honest

I'm plagued by the fear that I'm not enough, yeah

So I work hard to measure up

I've run a million miles, climbed a mountain high

Felt the same when I was done

[Chorus: Thomas Rhett]

Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?

Or chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'

Or is it makin' peace with who you are and where you stand?

Oh, I'm tryin' to find what makes a man

[Bridge: Ben Rector]

Is it power?

Is it fame?

Is it money?

Is it just a game?

Is it always wanting more?

Or is it in finding peace in what you had all along?

[Chorus: Ben Rector, Thomas Rhett, Both]

Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?

Chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'?

Or is it makin' peace with who you are and where you stand?

I'm tryin' to find

What makes a man

I've been tryin' to find

What makes a man

I've been tryin' to find

What makes a man

What makes a man

I've been tryin' to find

What makes a man
