Like Him These Days

[Verse 1]
I can still smell the cigarette smoke
Hear the pop top, first sip of his Miller Lite
On a Friday night
I can still hear the country songs
George Strait, George Jones on his radio
But I was all rock 'n' roll
I had it all figured out, he couldn't do right
At seventeen, the last thing you want is your old man's life

[Chorus]
Then you move out, you grow up some
The mistakes you make are all your own
You meet a girl, make a home
Do what you can to keep the lights on
The world spins round, people change
Lookin' back I'd have to say
I'm a lot more like him these days

[Verse 2]
He nеver cared much about money
A biggеr house or paying down on a new truck
To him, he had enough
He was long days, short nights
Talked like he lived life
At backroad speed
But no, not me
I was a hundred miles an hour
Straight out of that town
Dead set on getting rich and never slowin' down

[Chorus]
But you move out, you grow up some
The mistakes you make are all your own
You meet a girl, make a home
And do what you can to keep the lights on
The world spins round, people change
Lookin' back I'd have to say
I'm a lot more like him these days

[Outro]
You meet a girl, you make a home
Do what you can to keep the lights on
You have some kids, try to raise 'em right
Care less about money and more about time
The world spins round, people change
Lookin' back I'd have to say
I'm a lot more like him
Yeah, I'm a lot more like him
These days
These days
