The Man I Am Today Lyrics


When I was smaller, wishing I was taller
I woke up one morning and my mama was gone
I tried to talk to my father, he told me not to bother him
He said, Boy being a man means being strong
Now leave me aloneSo you say you wanna see behind this curtain
You wanna know why I don't show it when I'm hurting
It never did me any good before, so long ago I locked that door
But please don't think I'm pushing you away
It's just the man I am todayBefore I was loved by you, girl, I didn't know how to
'Cause love was nothing to me but a four letter word
But I've learnt being strong, don't mean being alone
So baby just hold on and soon you're gonna know
The man I'll be tomorrowYou say you wanna see behind this curtain
You wanna know why I don't show it when I'm hurting
It never did me any good before, so long ago I locked that door
But please don't think I'm pushing you away
It's just the man I am todayIt never did me any good before, so long ago I locked that door
But please don't think I'm pushing you away

It's just the man I am today
The man I am todayI don't wanna stay this way
I ain't gonna stay this way
The man I am today
I ain't gonna stay this way

Rodney Atkins, born March 28, 1969 in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an American country singer. He was an adopted child. As an infant at the Holston Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville, Tennessee, he was so sick that two couples who had taken him home returned him just a few days later. A third couple from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, adopted him as well and, even though his ailments worsened, refused to give him up. His adoptive mother had been raised in a coal mining family near a tannery camp, and his dad survived an upbringing marked by poverty and episodes of abuse. Rodney is married and has a 4-year-old son named Elijah, who is featured in the video for Rodney's song "Watching You". While his career had a bit of a slow start, he subsequently achieved success with his first #1 hit (If You're Going Through Hell) and the fast climbing follow-up single (Watching You).

Songfacts.com reports that he lead-off single from Rodney Atkins' fourth album, titled Take A Back Road, finds the singer looking to leave the stress of the city. It was released on April 26, 2011.
