Just Like You

My little boy came to me last night
                                          D
He Said, "Daddy I wish I could drive that big ol' truck"
          A
Just Like You
You can stay up as late as you want
Watch TV all night long
D                       A
Nobody tell you what to do

E                        D
I know I'm everything he just can't wait to be
E                   D  E
But if it was up to me

    A                     E
I'd ride my bike down the old dirt path
D
Hands in the air going way too fast
A                E               D
Make the morning last all after- -noon
     A               E
In a tire swing over Beaver Creek
D
Man that water was cold and deep
A                   E                 D
Lie on the bank and stare up into the blue
     G              D         A   E D
Yeah son I wanna be just like you

            A
He said Dad when you gonna take me to work
                                                D
I said lets stay here, dig in the dirt and play Tonka trucks
Trade Baseball cards
A
He wants to travel the world like me
Yeah, I'd rather stay home, climb a big ol' tree
      D                     A
Catch fireflies, in a mason jar

E                            D
He's just a breath away from standing in my shoes
E                                            D  E
But if I could stand in his, here's what I'd do

    A                     E
I'd ride my bike down the old dirt path
D
Hands in the air going way too fast
A                E               D
Make the morning last all after- -noon
    A                  E
Sit around and make up silly songs
D
Build sandcastles all day long
A         E                     D
Eat candy bars and watch carto- -ons
     G              D         A   E D A E D
Yeah son I wanna be just like You

E                         D
I look down at him with a smile in my eye
E                         D             E
I can see myself standing by my fathers side

         A                     E
Were I'd ride my bike down the old dirt path
D
Hands in the air going way too fast
A                E               D
Make the morning last all after- -noon
