Like My Daddy Was
He never gave me his last name
Never gave me anything
My whole life wasn't all that rough
But I spent a lot of time growing up
I'm wonderin' if I'm like my daddy was
Are his eyes blue like mine?
Did I get his stubborn side?
Is it something I can overcome?
Or is leaving in my blood?
Was I born to run like my daddy was?
I don't know about him, but I know about me
This apple fell far from the tree
Someday I'll have a family of my own
And I'm gonna be there, steady as stone
They won't have to wonder about my love
'Cause I ain't gonna be like my daddy was
I never walked in his shoes
But he could've been there if he wanted to
Was it something he was hiding from?
Maybe he was just young and dumb
Or maybe he was like his daddy was
I don't know about him, but I know about me
This apple fell far from the tree
Someday I'll have a family of my own
And I'm gonna be there, steady as stone
They won't have to wonder about my love
'Cause I ain't gonna be like my daddy was
I don't know about him, but I know about me
And this apple fell far from the tree
Someday I'll have a family of my own
And I'm gonna be there, steady as stone
They won't have to wonder about my love
'Cause I ain't gonna be like my daddy was
There's a man that I called dad
Best one a kid could have
He raised me right and made me tough
He showed me what a real man does
He ain't nothing like my daddy was
No, he ain't nothing like my daddy was
Never gave me anything
My whole life wasn't all that rough
But I spent a lot of time growing up
I'm wonderin' if I'm like my daddy was
Are his eyes blue like mine?
Did I get his stubborn side?
Is it something I can overcome?
Or is leaving in my blood?
Was I born to run like my daddy was?
I don't know about him, but I know about me
This apple fell far from the tree
Someday I'll have a family of my own
And I'm gonna be there, steady as stone
They won't have to wonder about my love
'Cause I ain't gonna be like my daddy was
I never walked in his shoes
But he could've been there if he wanted to
Was it something he was hiding from?
Maybe he was just young and dumb
Or maybe he was like his daddy was
I don't know about him, but I know about me
This apple fell far from the tree
Someday I'll have a family of my own
And I'm gonna be there, steady as stone
They won't have to wonder about my love
'Cause I ain't gonna be like my daddy was
I don't know about him, but I know about me
And this apple fell far from the tree
Someday I'll have a family of my own
And I'm gonna be there, steady as stone
They won't have to wonder about my love
'Cause I ain't gonna be like my daddy was
There's a man that I called dad
Best one a kid could have
He raised me right and made me tough
He showed me what a real man does
He ain't nothing like my daddy was
No, he ain't nothing like my daddy was
