Take It Like A Man

She took the dog and my old six string
Took her Cherokee down Sycamore Street
Didn't use a blinker or tap them brakes
Her pretty middle finger was a goodbye wave
Now that girl's gone
I could break down or saddle up and be strong
And take it like a man with a little hurt on him
Heartbreak ain't gonna break your heart
Daddy always said, "Rub a little dirt on it"
Wash it on down downtown at the bar
Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice
Stay here and drink all night like Merle
Take it like a man that just lost his girl
I could throw a pity party with the man in the mirror
But that ain't never got no man nowhere
Or throw on my boots and my pearl snap shirt
I could be a boy about missing her, or I could
Take it like a man with a little hurt on him
Heartbreak ain't gonna break your heart
Daddy always said, "Rub a little dirt on it"
Wash it on down downtown at the bar
Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice
Stay here and drink all night like Merle
Take it like a man that just lost his girl
I could cry in my cup
Or find a neon light and drink 'em on down and suck it on up
And take it like a man with a little hurt on him
Heartbreak ain't gonna break your heart
Daddy always said, "Rub a little dirt on it"
Wash it on down downtown at the bar
Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice
Stay here and drink all night like Merle
Take it like a man that just lost his girl
Yeah, take it like a man (Take it like a man)
Take it like a man (Take it like a man)
That just lost his girl
Bye-bye
