Lyrics of Jay Denton – A Man’s Gotta Choose

Verse 1 –
There’s God, a gun, a girl, and a guitar
Each with a hold on me
When each of them all play their part
It’s like a symphony
Sometimes one is louder
Sometimes another brings the heat
And sometimes one wrecks my soul
Till it brings me to my knees

Chorus –
But I say oh, oh, oh
A man’s gotta choose if he’ll let his heart
Take control
Or live like a shell in a shallow world
And Oh my soul
Is blessed or cursed or another word
But I choose to live from my heart
Even when it’s torn apart

Verse 2 –
I’ve been walking in the wood swallowed
In a sea of Georgia Pines
It’s a tragedy these days people
Ignore the treasures in their mind
So I’ll keep wandering through these trees
No idea what I will find
Take this broken beating chest
As a test and I will rise

Chorus –
And I say oh, oh, oh
A man’s gotta choose if he’ll let his heart
Take control
Or live like a shell in a shallow world
And Oh my soul
Is blessed or cursed or another word
But I choose to live from my heart
Even when it’s torn apart

Bridge –
It’ll take you high as an eagle flying
Then crash so hard it’ll feel like dying
It’ll hit like a kiss, then like a train
But I’ve made my decision either way

Chorus –
And I say oh, oh, oh
A man’s gotta choose if he’ll let his heart
Take control
Or live like a shell in a shallow world
And Oh my soul
Is blessed or cursed or another word
But I choose to live from my heart
Even when it’s torn apart

Now it’s torn apart
