I'd Rather Be (Live)
I have a son who happens to be 13
When u grow up what do u want to be
He looked me in the eye
Dad I'm not going to lie
I'm going to be Buster Posey
I remember my dad asking me
Same thing when I was 13
I remember what I said
If I was someone else instead
I'd have to be Wayne Gretzky
But then I realized
That I would be deprived
Of the memories of my time
With my children and my wife
And that would be a crime to me
Then he asked what about me
Would I chose Wayne or Buster Posey
I looked him in the eye
And much to his surprise, I simply said
I'd rather be me
With apologies
To Wayne Gretzky and Buster Posey
When u grow up what do u want to be
He looked me in the eye
Dad I'm not going to lie
I'm going to be Buster Posey
I remember my dad asking me
Same thing when I was 13
I remember what I said
If I was someone else instead
I'd have to be Wayne Gretzky
But then I realized
That I would be deprived
Of the memories of my time
With my children and my wife
And that would be a crime to me
Then he asked what about me
Would I chose Wayne or Buster Posey
I looked him in the eye
And much to his surprise, I simply said
I'd rather be me
With apologies
To Wayne Gretzky and Buster Posey
