Intro
It took a bully ridin' my back, to make me man enough to fight
And a summer with my grandad, to find out what hard work's like
It took that football coach in high school, to make me tougher than the rest
And 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
:Chorus:
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 we're datin', and hangin' to much with the boys
For her to give an ultimatum, for me I'll have to make a choice
It took that one add in the paper, to sell that sixty eight fire bird
And 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
:Chorus:
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
Yeah, it took a woman to make a man out of me
:Instrumental:

She made me so much more, than who I used to be
Yeah, it took a woman, Oh it took a woman, to make a man out of me
