just like you - aaron watson lyrics
[verse 1]
four years old in your overalls
looking up with those baby blues
heard you say, “daddy, someday, i wanna be just like you”
then i blinked a time or two
and now you’re 17
yeah, i know you know it all
and you think i don’t know a thing
[chorus]
i was brushing off that angel off my shoulder
i was sat*rday high, never sunday sober
i lost a good friend around your age
so slow that truck down
’cause it coulda been me that summer night
yeah, it coulda been me running that red light
i still drive by that live oak tree with that wooden cross still in the ground
i know it hurt like h*ll when she broke your heart in two
boy, i used to be just like you
[verse 2]
when you walked in half past midnight
i could smell it on your brеath
like the time that i camе home drunk
scared my mama half to death
i had bloodstains on my shirts
i was busted up, black and blue
i’m not just your old man
i’m your best man, i know what you’re going through
[chorus]
i was brushing off that angel off my shoulder
i was sat*rday high, never sunday sober
i lost a good friend around your age
so slow that truck down
’cause it coulda been me that summer night
yeah, it coulda been me running that red light
i still drive by that live oak tree with that wooden cross still in the ground
i know it hurt like h*ll when she broke your heart in two
boy, i used to be just like you
[bridge]
know i cried when grandpa died
smoking them d*mned old cigarettes
he said, “the young man makes mistakes and leaves the old man with regrets”
[chorus]
i was brushing off that angel off my shoulder
i was sat*rday high, never sunday sober
i lost a good friend around your age
so slow that truck down
’cause it coulda been me that summer night
yeah, it coulda been me running that red light
i still drive by that live oak tree with that wooden cross still in the ground
i know it hurt like h*ll when she broke your heart in two
boy, i used to be just like you
i know it hurt like h*ll when she broke your heart in two
[outro]
four years old in your overalls
looking up with those baby blues
heard you say, “daddy, someday, i wanna be just like you”
