I drive one way to get there,
take another way back.
It might take a little longer,
burn a little more gas.
The only rhyme or reason for it,
is he did.
I try to catch the sunrise,
every chance I get.
I make a pot of coffee,
smoke a ciggerette.
I finally acquired a taste for it,
like he did.
I heard him say when I was young,
boy your nothing but your fathers son.
And out of all I dreamed I'd become,
it's the one thing I'm proud that I've done.
I don't spend a nickle till every bill's paid,
I don't waste my money if it ain't made by chevrolet.
And I can fix it,
with just a craftsman wrench.
Like he did.
I heard him say when I was young,
boy your nothing but your fathers son.
And out of all I dreamed I'd become,
it's the one thing I'm proud that I've done.
So I take off the first week, that hunting season hits,
Marry me best friend, have a couple kids.
Teach em' how to make the best in how they live,
Like he did.
Cause he did.
