I remember sayin’ I don’t care either way Just as long as he or she is healthy I’m OK Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen And said, “You see that thing right there, well, you know what that means.”
I started wondering who he was gonna be And I thought, “Heaven, help us if he’s anything like me.”
He’ll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast End up every summer wearing something in a cast He’s gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street
He’s gonna get in trouble oh he’s gonna get in fights I’m gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It’s safe to say that I’m gonna get my pay back If he’s anything like me
I can see him right now, knees all skinned up With a magnifying glass trying to melt the Tonka truck Won’t he be a sight with his football helmet on That’ll be his first love ’til his first love comes along
He’ll get his heart broke by the time he’s in his teens And heaven help him if he’s anything like me
He’ll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast Get a speeding ticket he’ll pay for mowing grass He’s gonna get caught skipping class and be grounded for a week
He’s gonna get in trouble, we’re gonna get in fights I’m gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It’s safe to say that I’m gonna get my pay back If he’s anything like me
He’s gonna love me and hate me along the way Years are gonna fly by I already dread the day
He’s gonna hug his momma, he’s gonna shake my hand He’s gonna act like he can’t wait to leave
But as he drives out He’ll cry his eyes out If he’s anything like me
There’s worse folks to be like Oh, he’ll be alright If he’s anything like me
