You in ‘85

Old Craftsman tools and Johnny B. Goode

Out in a barn, up under the hood

Striped blue work shirt and navy blue pants

You'd come home and crack open a can

Three blue-eyed boys, dinner at six

"Boys, come on inside, give your mama a kiss"

I know you can't come here and I can't go back

But I hope you know, Dad

Still cut rows on a tractor, drink beer after work

Live life a bit faster but still get to church

You always said I was gonna look just like you

Now this man in the mirror's the proof

Ain't no wonder we're so much alike

Me right now and you in '85

Reagan was king, now he's up on the wall

In my farm house in Nashville, chased the dream after all

Nah, I ain't got kids yet, but bet when I do

When I'm coaching third base, I'll be thinking of you

Still cut rows on a tractor, drink beer after work

I live life a bit faster but still get to church

You always said I was gonna look just like you

Now this man in the mirror's the proof

Ain't no wonder we're so much alike

Me right now and you in '85

You made me all of who I am today

But you never got to know the kid with your face

So if I could have one thing, it'd be us man-to-man

A couple Coors Banquets in hand

Still cut rows on a tractor, drink beer after work

I live life a bit faster but still get to church

You always said I was gonna look just like you

This damn thing on my face, there's your proof

Ain't no wonder we're so much alike

Me right now

And you in '85
