lyrics

Some days I hate how much
I look just like my father
I don’t want to see his face
When I look down at the water
in the lake where we used to skip stones
And catch a fish or two
Some days I hate it
But there’s nothing I can do

He hasn’t spun my compass
since his last days have passed
How long I've wandered
trying to cut my own path
when the one who goes before you
leaves you alone out in the woods
You got to keep movin'
And pretend you understood

My mother told me that I have my father’s eyes
The same old sad sams the color of the sky
His sister told me she swears I have his voice
It’s no accident, I've always been my father's boy

Long drives on the weekends
listenin' to Muddy Waters sing
just an old man and his son
talkin' about anything
everything he ever taught me
is in a big box in my head
I've been meanin' to break it open
but I'll leave it alone instead

My mother told me that I have my father’s eyes
The same old sad sams the color of the sky
His sister told me she swears I have his voice
It’s no accident, I've always been my father's boy

I miss him more each day
that I keep on growing old
All the wisdom that I’ve missed
From the stories he never told
I miss his sturdy handshake
I miss listenin' to the blues
We’ve never cracked a beer
and argued about the news

The one thing in particular
that I miss the most right now
is the familiar face he gave me
When I knew I’d made him proud

My mother told me that I have my father’s eyes
The same old sad sams the color of the sky
His sister told me she swears I have his voice
It’s not by accident, I've always been my father's boy
