Just Like Me

[Verse]
Driving down the highway, the sun sinking low,
My boy beside me, watching the world glow.
His laughter's like a mirror, reflecting back my past,
A shadow of myself in the moments rushing fast.
[Chorus]
He’s just like me, wild and free,
The way he grins, it’s plain to see.
Every glance, every word, every dream he’s begun,
I see myself in my son, I see myself in my son.
[Verse 2]
He leans out the window, wind tugging his hair,
The same restless spirit, the same reckless dare.
He asks me about the stars, where the sky might end,
I hear my younger voice, in every question he sends.
[Prechorus]
And I think of my own dad, his steady hand,
The way he taught me to be a man.
[Chorus]
He’s just like me, wild and free,
The way he grins, it’s plain to see.
Every glance, every word, every dream he’s begun,
I see myself in my son, I see myself in my son.
[Bridge]
The road stretches on, but the years are so short,
Each mile a memory I try to hoard.
He’ll grow up fast, just like I did,
But tonight he’s my boy, not yet a man, not yet a kid.
