Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thirteen years old
Mud on his boots
Ball cap backwards
Grinning like he stole the moon
Smart little mouth
Quick with a line
I hear my own voice
Coming out of his sometimes
[Verse 2]
Knows every shortcut
Down these back roads
Radio too loud
Windows half broke
Slams every door
Like it talked back first
Laughs when I tell him
“That’s how your old man works”
[Chorus]
He’s a chip off the old block
Same stare, same stubborn jaw
Thinks he knows it all already
Just like I thought I did
He’s a wild horse in my pasture
Heart too big for these old walls
Every time he pushes back
I see my reflection talk
He’s a chip off the old block
[Verse 3]
Gets that temper
From his daddy’s side
Walks out the room
When the sparks start to fly
But I’ve seen him help
Every stray dog in town
Put his own coat
On a friend fallin’ down
[Pre-Chorus]
I shake my head
But I’m tryin’ not to smile
‘Cause I remember being
That hardheaded child
[Chorus]
He’s a chip off the old block
Same stare, same stubborn jaw
Thinks he knows it all already
Just like I thought I did
He’s a wild horse in my pasture
Heart too big for these old walls
Every time he rolls his eyes
I see my reflection talk
He’s a chip off the old block
[Bridge]
One day he’ll slam that front door
And head for his own sky
He’ll say he can’t wait
To get away, spread those wings and fly
But he’ll laugh like me
Drive like me
Love too hard and fall too deep
And God, I hope
He skips the worst of me
Takes the best and lets it be
[Verse 4]
Thirteen candles
On that store-bought cake
He acts too cool
But his hands still shake
I ruffle his hair
He swats me away
But he leans right in
When I bow my head to pray
[Chorus]
He’s a chip off the old block
Same stare, same stubborn jaw
Thinks he’s grown and halfway gone
Still just my little kid
He’s a wild horse in my pasture
Heart too big for these old walls
Every time he talks back
I hear my own voice talk
He’s a chip off the old block
[Outro]
Someday he’ll be the one
Standing where I stand
Cussing at a teenage son
Who don’t understand
He’ll call me up laughing
Say, “Now I get what you meant”
And I’ll say, “Boy, that’s your boy
And that makes all the sense”
He’s a chip off the old block
Yeah, that boy and his old man
Just the same ticking clock
He’s a chip off the old block (oh yeah)
My chip off the old block
