It Took A Woman Lyrics

It took a bully riding my back to make me mad enough to fight And a summer with my granddad to find out what hard work's like It took that football coach in high school to make me tougher than the rest That first beer with my daddy to put that first hair on my chest
It took a heart to heart with Jesus To bring me to my knees But it took a woman to make a man out of me
It took a pair of soft blue eyes And a smile so sweet to make me reach up high and really dig down deep She made me so much more than who I used to be It took a woman to make a man out of me
It took the first year we were dating and hanging too much with the boys For her to give an ultimatum for me to have to make a choice It took that want add in the paper to sell that '68 Firebird Buy that diamond ring I gave her and rent out that little church
It took the day my baby girl was born To make a tear roll down my cheek But it took a woman to make a man out of me
It took a pair of soft blue eyes And a smile so sweet to make me reach up high and really dig down deep She made me so much more than who I used to be It took a woman to make a man out of me
She made me so much more than who I used to be It took a woman, oh it took a woman to make a man out of me
