Young kid, seven years old, and a half He said, Someday I'll be just like you dad From the kicks, to the jeans, to the jacket I'm gonna be just like you Look dad, Mom gave me coffee (Decaf) Really it's mostly half and half You got work, I got school But we can hang out after that See, I'm gonna be just like you When I grow up I'm gonna know it all like you And I'll be tough, so tough And pray hard like you do And I'll love my family just like you When I grow up I said all the same things looking back Now I've got his jokes, and I take my coffee black Sometimes I'm jaded, frustrated And some days I'm just plain mad I wanna be just like you, too When I grow up I'll wake up and watch cartoons And I'll have fun, so much fun And play hard like you do And I'll love my family just like you When I grow up No matter how old I get I still question this Am I even half the man you're calling me to be And what am I gonna do when I When I grow up I'm gonna give it all to You No matter what may come I'll keep chasing after you And I'll love your children like you do When I grow up
