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
