Anderson East - Learning Lyrics






I remember growing up
Riding shotgun in my daddy's truck
He let me take the wheel every now and then
And I was learning - to be a man

We drive down to the Wilsons pond
With rods and reels and little George Jones
And he made a cast and let me pull them in
And I was learning - learning to be a man

It takes a man, to teach a man
I thank the boy for his guiding hand
And I'm learning - Learning to be a man

And I left home when I was 17
Headed up north to Tennessee
He said boy, your nothing if I drink
Now I understand
I was learning to be a man

It takes a man, to teach a man
I thank the lord for his guiding hand
And I'm learning - Learning to be a man

With every passing day I find a way but I'm still getting old
Got to fix it when its broken or when its time to fold but
Loving aint ever wrong

And it takes a man, to teach a man
I thank the lord for his guiding hand
And I'm learning - Learning to be a man

Him and mum started falling apart
She left him with a hole in his heart
He said son, someday you'll understand
You'll be learning like I'm learning
Yes I'm learning like he's learning
To be a man

    Beautiful! Hate that we missed you at the Earl. Hope you come back soon, and bring Miranda. Love you both!

  19. A.... L....

    In my opinion the voice that comes out of this man is first, surprising. He is also the greatest example of how his singing voice is so different than the way he talks. Not many singers, country, pop, rock, or whatever can attain this vocal transformation.Its kinda unexplainable, and very rare, amazing, and awesome! Im hoping this guy becomes a star, he deserves a grammy just for his singing voice :-)

    A.... L....

    Alisha Lewis well well very well said but haven’t heard him talk
    He sounds like James Morrison

  20. y.... s....

    Otis Redding is reincarnated

  21. N.... ....

    Drummer!!!

    N.... ....

    Jamey Johnsons drummer :-)

  22. �.... ....

    He is Black-hearted young blue-eyed soul music martyr. So wonderful!

  23. b.... ....

    love what I see here on You Tube.   Looking forward to more of your music.   Task for you:   get the You Tube videos of Tom Waits and run them from the earliest to the present.   Then go visit the master in California.   Learn grasshopper, he can teach you what you don't already know.

  24. S.... F....

    The wonderful , talented beautiful young musician has a drug problem.... Hope his friends and family see this..
    He's and his band are excellent...!

    S.... F....

    OMG.He was arrested 10 yrs ago for weed.Get a life lady.

  25. M.... ....

    Great opening act for the Dixie Chicks tour. Great performance. Seen recently in Vancouver, Canada.

  26. R.... E....

    Bitchin' track

  27. M.... B....

    hope he comes South Carolina

  28. G.... !....

    SO AMAZING.. What a voice!! XOXO

  36. C.... R....

    I like the sound of his voice. It has a bit if the blues and jazz in it

  37. 1.... ....

    Well this is the guy that is now officially fucking Miranda Lambert. He looks kinda of Wimpy compared to Blake Shelton. I say Rebound Man, but good for him because it can't hurt his career. I clicked on this track because of the CMA's and came away impressed, I like the song and the poor white man's version of Otis Redding vocals. Good Job!

    1.... ....

    Was this supposed to be a compliment?

  38. J.... G....

    He is CLEARLY copying Tom Waits. Some of y'all need a history lesson.

    J.... G....

    Not nearly.
    Love Waits, but this boy's closer to Motown than LA.

  39. l.... L....
