Lyrics
Written by: Anna Lee Palmer, Keller Hudson, and Ben Calhoun

Verse 1:
My dad he said one day I’d meet
the one if I’d just wait
But I’m sick of movin’ on from the last one
when it ain’t gonna change
I said tell me what I’m doin’ wrong
He said it’s not about the movin’ on
It’s about knowin’ the good ones
from the great

Chorus:
AND HE SAID
IT TAKES A GOOD MAN TO OWN UP
AND ADMIT HIS OWN MISTAKES
IT TAKES A BETTER MAN
TO BE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT
AND KNOW WHEN TO HIT THE BRAKES
AND IT TAKES A HELL OF A MAN
TO SAY WHAT THE LAST GUY DID
ISN’T HIS BATTLE TO FACE
BUT A GREAT MAN KNOWS EITHER WAY
HE’S GONNA HAVE TO HEAL
A HEART HE DIDN’T BREAK

Verse 2:
I’m old enough to know better
but still dumb enough to try
But dad he told me when I’d find the one
it be God’s perfect time
I said tell me what I’m doin’ wrong
And why’s it got to take so long
To find the life just like
what you and mama made

Chorus:
AND HE SAID
IT TAKES A GOOD MAN TO OWN UP
AND ADMIT HIS OWN MISTAKES
IT TAKES A BETTER MAN
TO BE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT
AND KNOW WHEN TO HIT THE BRAKES
AND IT TAKES A HELL OF A MAN
TO SAY WHAT THE LAST GUY DID
ISN’T HIS BATTLE TO FACE
BUT A GREAT MAN KNOWS EITHER WAY
HE’S GONNA HAVE TO HEAL
A HEART HE DIDN’T BREAK

Bridge:
A real man stays
And lives each day
Like he hopes to be half the man who will give me away

Chorus:
AND HE SAID
IT TAKES A GOOD MAN TO OWN UP
AND ADMIT HIS OWN MISTAKES
IT TAKES A BETTER MAN
TO BE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT
AND KNOW WHEN TO HIT THE BRAKES
AND IT TAKES A HELL OF A MAN
TO SAY WHAT THE LAST GUY DID
ISN’T HIS BATTLE TO FACE
BUT A GREAT MAN KNOWS EITHER WAY
HE’S GONNA HAVE TO HEAL
A HEART HE DIDN’T BREAK
