When a hill is just a hill and not another one to climb
When one kiss in a thousand burns his lips from time to time
When the thoughts of playing children start to play upon his mind
That's when a man becomes a man
When he doesn't pay attention to the burning urge to go
When the only thing that's moving in a bobbing fishing pole
When he learns that simply living is all of life he needs to know
That's when a man becomes a man
A man becomes a man when the waves no longer find his hurried footprints in the sand
When he finds what he's been looking for already has him by the hand
When his pleasures are just favors from a tin tobacca can
That's when a man becomes a man
When the sun sets in the same place as it did the day before
And the supper dishes rattle from inside the kitchen door
When he doesn't seem to feel the urge for leaving anymore
That's when a man becomes a man
When the moonlight shows the tiny flecks of silver in his hair
When a passing freight train whistle brings a smile from ear to ear
When his only mode of travel is a sqeaky rockin' chair
That's when a man becomes a man
That's when a man becomes a man
That's when a man becomes a man
