[Verse 1]
You were talkin' bout your past,
starin' down into your hands,
I reached out and took a hold,
tried to show you that I won't let go.
(pause)

[Chorus]
And you said,
"God bless your Mama,
for you are such a Gentle Man."

[Refrain]
But y'know there's a difference between,
a heart that ain't had to travel,
and everywhere that mine has been.

[Verse 2]
So I ain't sayin' I've felt all this too,
only that I know where mine's been.
And I know I'll be there for you,
down every mile of this here road,
no matter where we go.
(pause)

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Then 
[Chorus]
Then you looked at me.
And said,
"God bless your Mama,
for you are such a Gentle Man."

[Refrain]
But y'know there's a difference between,
a boy who just stays silent,
and a man who knows when to speak.

[Verse 3]
So even if love don't have words,
I'll find a way to speak. 
And I know I'll be there for you,
every time a storm rolls through,
or darkens up your sky of blue.
Girl, I'll change the season too.
(pause)

[Outro]
So I guess...
God Bless my Mama,
I'll always be...a Gentle Man.
