🎵 “Built Like Me”
(Verse 1)
He’s got dirt on his jeans and fire in his eyes
Won’t back down, even when he tries
Got that jaw set hard like stone
If he says he’s right, he’s holding his own
Teachers say he’s strong-willed, bold
Grandpa laughs, says “That boy’s gold”
I see myself in every stand
That stubborn streak, that steady hand
(Pre-Chorus)
He don’t bend easy, he don’t quit
When he locks in, that’s about it
(Chorus)
My son Collin’s built like me
Hard-headed heart but wild and free
He’ll push too far, he’ll test the line
But that same fire’s gonna help him shine
That stubborn streak ain’t a flaw to see
It’s the strength he’s got deep underneath
One day the world will finally see
That boy’s got a bright future — built like me
(Verse 2)
He’ll argue black if I say white
Stand his ground in any fight
But he’s the first to help a friend
And he’ll stick around ‘til the very end
Got big dreams he don’t say out loud
Walks real quiet but stands real proud
He may take the long way around
But he’ll plant his feet on solid ground
(Pre-Chorus)
He’s got that spark you can’t teach
And a heart that’s bigger than his reach
(Chorus)
My son Collin’s built like me
Hard-headed heart but wild and free
He’ll push too far, he’ll test the line
But that same fire’s gonna help him shine
That stubborn streak ain’t a flaw to see
It’s the strength he’s got deep underneath
One day the world will finally see
That boy’s got a bright future — built like me
(Bridge)
One day he’ll thank me for being tough
For not letting him quit when it got too rough
He’ll understand why I held that line
Why I saw greatness in that stubborn mind
(Final Chorus – Bigger)
My son Collin’s built like me
Strong as roots of an old oak tree
He won’t fold when the winds blow hard
He’s got grit written in every scar
That stubborn streak is destiny
It’s shaping the man he’s gonna be
Yeah I see it clear as it can be
That boy’s got a bright future — built like me
(Outro)
So hold that line, son don’t you bend
That fire in you will win in the end
You might be stubborn — I can see
But that’s the best part…
You’re built like me.
