Like Father, Like Son

Lyrics

Let me tell you about this boy of mine
 When my son was only 9 years old
 He would not write and save his soul
 Staying out late cutting the school
 Chasing girls and acting the rule
 I tell you son you better try and write
 If you've been staying out every night
 He said
 Daddy I'm just doing what you've done
 And I admit every minute like father like son
 When he finally touches me
 The baddest kid that I ever see
 Cruising the street sneaking in the bar
 Got drunk one night and he wrecked my car
 I tell you son you better cool out soon
 If you ever want to reach the age of 21
 He said
 Daddy I'm just doing what you've done
 And I admit every minute like father like son
 Play you're guitar for me daddy
 Show me what you can do son
 I tell you stop to try to raise a child
 When you can't say, you like I did
 Grand ma told me you was wild
 Ever since you was a baby child
 How can I tell him to learn and trade
 When I was crazy at his age
 Daddy you can't talk him bad
 Cause everything I learned I learned from my dad
 Daddy I'm just doing what you've done
 Like father like son
 Now my boy is almost grown
 Out of the house and he's on his own
 Playing the blues like his old man
 And he's damn good as I am
 It's seems like the boy gonna take the fire
 I keep believe he's a son of mine
 Daddy I'm just doing what you've done
 And I admit every minute like father like son
 Come on dad
 Are you playing like I told ya, son?
 Play me one more
 What can you say about that?
 Can you top that? Give me the soul, son
 Come on dad show me one more
 Check out this, you near like this
