Fast As You Can

Oh, be a man as fast as you can

Oh, be a man as fast as you can

Growing up wild, out in the fields

In awe of the stars and the power they wieldOh, you loved them anyway

Don't think they noticed youSee how the stars change from summer to fall

The sole indication that we're moving at all

Carry the world with the hands of a child

You can't be a boy, she wants you to be wildAnd she was the sun, sun, sun

You were the moon

And the light of the sun

Fills up the roomOh, you loved her anyway

And she tried to love youWhen she was asleep, you'd watch her face

Taken in sleep to a more peaceful place

You'd stand by the door 'cause you were her guard

And you'd love her in silence and it wasn't that hard'Cause she was the sun, sun, sun

You were the moon

And the light of the sun

Eclipses the moonOh, you loved her anyway

And she tried to love youShe never asked you, what you're dreaming of

She told you 'bout Texas, and liquor and love

She was hard-edged and broken, she blamed a man

But she told you to be one as fast as you can
