My buddy sent me an old photograph
So many years ago it made me laugh
When we should've won state by a mile and a half
Lord if i could do it again
I'd be two feet taller and twice stronger all
Pound for pounder, lightning and thunder
A double block engine on a summer night
Full force and comin' round the bend
Kinda man
Kinda man
Now I'm a proud and dedicated head of steam
Vicarious livin' through the football team
Was a five star phenom coach's dream
Still think i could've gone pro
Well if only I'd learn to curb my reckless ways
Not thrown out my ankle in eleventh grade
I'd be there every sunday runnin' the play
If you put the rock in my hand
Kinda man
One of a kind of man
All I know is I've been here before
I've swept these streets, mopped these floors
Even had myself a pretty little credit score
Til the bank came and took her away
Now I ain't got any special kinda plan
Just try to show up whenever I can
Be a warm blooded well drinkin' workin hand
There's nothing more to understand
Kinda man
Oh one of a kind of man
Oh kinda man
So you better stay out of my way
Kind of man
