Lyrics Emerson Drive – A Boy Becomes A Man

I was only twelve years old
The day was warm my heart went cold
Momma said your Daddy’s gone
Son you’re gonna have to grow up fast

That’s the day a boy became a man
Every broken road and stepping stone
Has made me who I am
I learned to love, I learned to cry
Even how to say good-bye
And I’m still trying to understand
How a boy became a man

She was only seventeen
Prettiest girl I’d ever seen
On a blanket underneath the stars
By the river we got swept away
In just one night my whole life changed
Should have never gone that far

That’s the day a boy became a man
Every broken road and stepping stone
Has made me who I am
I learned to love, I learned to laugh
How to give someone all I have
And I’m still trying to understand
How a boy became a man

On the day we swore our love
In front of God and everyone

That’s the day a boy became a man
With an angel walking by my side
