Just Like You - George Canyon

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
