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 wield Oh you loved them anyway Don't think they noticed you See 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 wild She was the sun, sun, sun And you were the moon And the light of the sun Fills up the room Oh you loved her anyway And she tried to love you When 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 And you were the moon And the light of the sun Eclipses the moon Oh you loved her anyway And she tried to love you She 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
