He Gets That From Me

His early morning attitude

You have to drag him out of bed

Only frosted flakes will do

He gets that from me

Yeah, he gets that from me

His curly hair and his knobby knees

The way the sun brings those freckles out

Talkin' talk, never miss a beat

Yeah, he gets that from me

He gets that from me

He looks at me with those big brown eyes

He's got me in the palm of his hands

And I swear sometimes

It's just like you're here again

He smiles that little crooked smile

There's no denyin' he's your child

Without him, I don't know what I'd do

He gets that from you

Oh, he gets that from you

How he loves your old guitar

Yeah, he's taught himself to play

He melts my heart

He tells me he loves me every day

And cracks a joke at the perfect time

Makes me laugh when I want to cry

That boy is everything to me

He gets that from you

He gets that from you

Last night I heard him pray

Lord, help me and mama make it through

And tell daddy, we'll be okay

He said he sure misses you

He sure misses you

He really misses you

He gets that from me
