Hey
there boy, it won't be long
You'll
be a grown up Gus
You'll
look down at your old grand pa
And
see a crusty cuss
You'll
wonder why listen to
Such
a weak old man
So
here's a few things to tell you
while I can
Boy,
don't be too nice
Don't
be so mean.
Be
just that perfect in-between
When
you hit the wall,
bounce back on up
Leave
the past behind
Keep
the pay back list short –
revenge,
never pay mind
Let
joy flow like a river
When
hard times come…
Stick
to God's plan...
Let
your life be a light,
be
happy when you can
Gus,
play the man.
Play
the man means be strong,
Act
with integrity
Kill
off your fear,
Set
your own faith free
Hard
times will come,
and
when they do…
Stay
true, Gus, play the man.
Refrain
So
play the man,
Oh
yeah, Oh yeah
So
play the man,
Wah-oh,
Wah-oh
So
play the man,
Ah
yeah, Ah yeah
Gus
play the man.
Verse 2
Time
seems short,
might
not be long,
All
left will be the song
I'll
always be the big dog,
With
you my pack is strong.
You'll
always be my boy
I
your bigest fan,
So
here's a few things to tell you
while I can
Boy,
don't be too nice
Don't
be so mean.
Be
just that perfect Augustine
When
you hit the wall,
bounce
back on up
Leave
the past behind
Keep
the pay back list short –
revenge,
never pay mind
Let
joy flow like a river
When
hard times come…
Believe
God's plan…
Let
your life be a light,
be
happy when you can
Gus,
play the man.
Play
the man means be strong,
Act
with integrity
Kill
off your fear,
Set
your faith in Jesus free
Hard
times will come,
and
when they do…
Stay
true, Gus, play the man.
