[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I try to catch the sunrise, every chance I get
I make a pot of coffee, smoke a cigarette
I finally acquired a taste for it
Like he did
[Chorus]
I heard him say when I was young, "boy, you're nothing but your father's son."
And out of all I dreamed I'd become, it's the one thing I'm proud that I've done
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I heard him say when I was young, "boy, you're nothing but your father's son."
And out of all I dreamed I'd become, it's the one thing I'm proud that I've done
[Verse 4]
So I take off the first week that hunting season hits
Marry my best friend, have a couple kids
Teach em' how to make the best in how they live
Like he did
[Outro]
Cause he did
