Lyrics TO BE A MAN
Broken bridges they have stopped me in my tracks
Can't re build what's missing with the knowledge that I lack
Oh I keep striving I keep hoping that I'll find the way
I keep following the wrong ones as my life goes astray
The pain I've been through with each love I thought I had
The gangs I ran with knowing what I did was bad
No one really knows me and I don't really know who I am
I just go through each day learning how to be a man
Chorus
I see the troubled water that I keep walking through
No blue print to follow to tell me what to do
It's a pulling power peer pressure along the way
As I try to learn all that I can
I keep striving learning how to be a man

Troubled times troubled waters broken bridges along the way
No one for me to follow not always knowing what to say
No one really knows me and I don't really know who I am
I just go through each day learning how to be a man
Chorus
I see the troubled water that I keep walking through
No blue print to follow to tell me what to do
It's a pulling power peer pressure along the way
As I try to learn all that I can
I keep striving learning how to be a man

Each day I meet a stepping stone that I must overcome
A new lesson I will learn after each day is done
I started out as a boy with a lot to learn
As I evolve into A man with the knowledge I have earned
I see the troubled water that I keep walking through
No blue print to follow to tell me what to do
It's a pulling power peer pressure along the way
As I try to learn all that I can
I keep striving learning how to be a man



Here's an honest song about the struggles of this man. The vocal really pulled me into the story. It's a humble confession of how he's blown it, but still searching for the answers, someone to follow. The story is fresh, lyrics are creatively written, not trite at all. Vocal is crystal clear. Instrumentation works for the song. Nice hook!

No comment

Really like this song! Nice beat and rhythm. Great Lyric progresses the story. Superb accompaniment enhances the portrayal.
Has a lovely musical drift away at the end. It is a song I would have in my collection and play in relaxed company in the background. The Lyric is a very sincere and personal presentation.
Most enjoyable!

Allison Bolton brings the authentic sound of retro 60's Americana folk rock in the styles of Arlo Guthrie and Bob Dylan to the present day. Baby boomers as well as all fans of Americana will enjoy Allison Bolton's music.
