Speedy Justice - Big Shoulders

He's got big shoulders, got a lot to bear
Sometimes just living with a wing and a prayer
You get born into a family and the family slips away
Like the setting of the sun on an icy fall day
The air gets thin, nobody knows just what to say
The whole thing seems to be do your role, be the man with the plan
Make that money show, work comes easy, fast and clean
Then the years pile up under the American dream
And the mirror looks older, friendships die
No reason why the marriage lies
Troubles pile up like leaves in the yard
Too much to think about, trying too hard
Then the baby's turn secret, daddy's girl turns away
There's nothing to say, it just made it this way
The mirror doesn't lie, it just looks that way
So it's bearing the cross, just like the full grown man
He's holding up where others can't
And knowing the prize comes from deep inside
Love is the size of the shoulders that try
Just bearing the weight of the lows and the highs
