I was in the 3rd grade on a yellow bus smaller than most but I was still tough had a backpack of books and my lunch in a brown paper bag jimmy rowe was from the other side of town wore a black bandanna cap turned 'round everybody knew not to get in jimmy's way 10 stops later jimmy got on the bus he wanted my seat but I didn't budge so he took my lunch and threw my books on the floor everybody laughed but I didn't cry could of landed a punch didn't even try I just let him walk away without a fight
sometimes the bigger man steps aside gives some ground but keeps his pride might lose the battle but win the war cause he knows what he's fighting for jimmy rowe ain?t worth your time the tables will turn as time goes by at 10 years old I hope you'll understand it's more important in life to be the bigger man
I grew up fast in my high school days years passed by like a speeding train signed up with the army just like my old man first day of camp couldn't believe jimmy rowe standing across from me built like a tank with a wicked look in his eyes
sometimes the bigger man steps aside gives some ground but keeps his pride might lose the battle but win the war cause he knows what he's fightin' for jimmy rowe can?t you see I am not your enemy I pray someday that you will understand it's more important in life to be the bigger man
we got called late that fall to serve on the frontline when a sneak attack behind our back took us by surprise when I came to I heard the news that everyone was safe except one fallen hero who dove on that grenade
it was a bigger man who stepped aside sacrificing his own life a purple heart for bravery is my friend jimmy's legacy losing battles winning wars knowing what your fighting for like my father said when I was 10 it's more important in life to be the bigger man
