((Verse 1))

He stands there at his fathers grave
Tears in his eyes, holding the American Flag
He can’t let them fall cause he’s got to be the man
His fathers words still ringing in his ears

((Chorus))

‘If I don’t make it home,
You’ll be the man of the house
Take care of your mom and brother,
Son, I love you.’

((Verse 2))

To soon did those words ring true
As he stands there he wonders why
His dad had to leave, and
If what he said was true

((Chorus))

‘If I don’t make it home,
You’ll be the man of the house
Take care of your mom and brother,
Son, I love you.’

((Verse 3))

Now he’s got the whole world on his small shoulders
And he can’t even weep
Cause he’s the man of the house
So he’s got to be strong

((Chorus))

‘If I don’t make it home,
You’ll be the man of the house
Take care of your mom and brother,
Son, I love you.’

((Final Verse))

The years have merged into one another
He takes care of his brother and mother
Grown up way to fast
Childhood long forgotten in the past

He follows in his fathers foot steps
As he kneels next to his son
To say the words, that made him so
Tears threaten to fall, as he holds his son close

And he whispers…

((Chorus))

‘If I don’t make it home,
You’ll be the man of the house
Take care of your mom and brother,
Son, I’ll always love you’
