ANYTHING LIKE ME - James Johnston

I wonder if he’s gonna have

My brown eyes

Will he see what I see

In every sunrise

I wonder if you’ll feel

The same about a melody

When a song hits just right

Guess I’ll have to wait and see

Will he move away at 17

With a dream without a dollar

Will he wreck some cars

And break some hearts

Then call home to his momma

Will he meet a girl that stops his world

Put a ring on her finger

Will he cry a tear of joy

When he finds out he’ll be a father

No, I can’t tell the future so I’ll have to wait and see

If this boy will be anything like me

I wonder If he’ll reach out

And ask me for a hand

When he’s taking his first steps

On his way to be a man

Or will he do it all his own way

Cause he’ll say he knows best

Yeah, I guess time will tell, but if he’s like me

That’ll be the way it is

Will he move away at 17

With a dream without a dollar

Will he wreck some cars

And break some hearts

Then call home to his momma

Will he meet a girl that stops his world

Put a ring on her finger

Will he cry a tear of joy

When he finds out he’ll be a father

No, I can’t tell the future so I’ll have to wait and see

If this boy will be anything like me

Will be anything like me

I’m gonna give him everything I’ve got

To get started on this ride

Yeah, but in the end, it’s up to him

If he moves away at 17 with a dream without a dollar

And gets some scars from breaking hearts

Then calls home to his momma

Will he meet a girl that stops his world

Put a ring on her finger

Will he cry a tear of joy when he finds out he’ll be a father

No, I can’t tell the future so I’ll have to wait and see

But you’re in for one hell of a ride, and you’ll love where it leads

Yeah boy, if your anything like me

If you’re anything like me

If you’re anything like me
