Your rating:
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
