[Verse 1]
I thought it happened when I took that first sip out of a tall boy
Thought, “Boy, ain’t you tough?”
They couldn’t tell me nothing when I got the keys to something
That can take seventeen me where that drag strip was
But loose gravel don’t love trucks
Thought I was all grown up, but

[Chorus]
I found out fast that life can put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world’s right in your face
When you’re down upsides, too late to hit them brakes

Man near died, but a man was born that day

[Verse 2]
And that smoky college bong, I saw her on his arm
And that seeing red, whiskey said, “Throw the first punch”
Next thing you know, I woke up
Thought I could take anyone, but

[Chorus]
I found out fast that life can put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world’s right in your face
Found out real quick why sometimes you walk away
Swallow your pride, but a man was born that day

[Bridge]
Yeah, we had a plan now
Names written down in a room half wrote in blue paint
Oh, but in the kitchen that day

[Chorus]
I found out fast that life can put you back in your place
Ready or not, man, the real world’s right in your face
Tears welling up in her eyes, that’ll make a heart break
No pink lines, but a man was born that day
