So Much Like My Dad

I know that I surprised you comin' home

It's not my usual time of year

But I've got myself a problem

And I know that I might find the answer here

Remember when I was dad's pride and joy

And your little man?

Every time that I got hurt, you were there to give a hand

You would pick me up

And you'd kiss my hurt away

Remember what you'd say?

"Boy, you're gettin' more like him

Each and everyday"

Can we have a talk like it was yesterday?

Your boy's back in trouble

And he needs you right away

She says she's gon' leave me, Mama

And nothin' on God's green Earth will make her stay

I can't live without her Mama

But this time you can't kiss the hurt away

But if I'm so much like my dad

There must have been times you felt her way

So tell me word-for-word what he said

That always made you stay

She says she's gonna leave me, Mama

But if I'm so much like my dad

There must have been times you felt her way

So tell me word-for-word what he said

That always made you stay
