My little boy came to me last night |
|
He said \"daddy, I wish I could drive that big old truck\" |
|
Just like you |
|
You can stay up as late as you want |
|
Watch t.v all night long |
|
Nobody tell you what to do |
|
I know I'm everything he just can't wait to be |
|
But if it was up to me |
|
I'd ride my bike down the old dirt path |
|
Hands in the air going way to fast |
|
Make the morning last all afternoon |
|
In a tire swing over Beaver Creek |
|
Man that water was cold and deep |
|
Lie on the bank and stare up into the blue |
|
Ya son I wanna be just like you |
|
He said \"dad when you going to take me to work?\" |
|
I said let's stay here and play tonka trucks |
|
trade baseball cards |
|
He wants to travel the world like me |
|
Ya, I'd rather stay home, climb a big ol'tree |
|
Catch fireflies, in a mason jar |
|
He's just a breath away from standing in my shoes |
|
But if I could stand in his, here's what I'd do |
|
I'd ride my bike down the old dirt path |
|
Hands in the air going way to fast |
|
Make the morning last all afternoon |
|
Sit around and make up silly songs |
|
Build sandcastles all day long |
|
Eat candy bars and watch cartoons |
|
Ya son I wanna be just like you |
|
I look down at him with a smile in my eye |
|
I can see myself standing by my fathers side |
|
I'd ride my bike down the old dirt path |
|
Hands in the air going way to fast |
|
Make the morning last all afternoon |
|
In a tire swing over Beaver Creek |
|
Man that water was cold and deep |
|
Lie on the bank and stare up into the blue |
|
Ya son I wanna be just like you |
