Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

I know that I surprised you coming homeIt’s not my usual time of year; but I’ve got myself a problemAnd I know that I might find the answer hereRemember when I was dad’s pride and joy and your little manEvery time that I got hurt you were there to give a handYou would pick me up, and you’d kiss my hurt awayRemember what you’d say“Boy you’re getting more like him each and every day”Can we have a talk like it was yesterday?
Your boy is back in trouble and he needs you right awayShe says she’s gonna leave me, mommaNothing on God’s green Earth would make her stayI can’t live without her, mommaBut this time you can’t kiss the hurt awayBut if I’m so much like my dad
There must have been times you felt her waySo tell me word for word what he said that always made you stayShe says she’s gonna leave me, mommaBut if I’m so much like my dad
There must have been times you felt her waySo tell me word for word what he saidThat always made you stay
