More Like My Daddy Than Me (Live)

歌詞

I just spent an unusual evening At a banquet that still won't digest Watching this years high school heroes Get awarded for what they do best There's a letter for the one that jumped highest And one ran faster by far One broke the 200 meters And one broke her arm on the bar The baseball team took the honours The MDP stole the show The coach looked scared with the tie on Swore, next year they'd be 15 and old And in tomorrow mornings newspaper There'll be pictures that surely reveal Young men looking strange with no caps on And Tomboys in dresses and heels And I've stood up there where they're standing And never once thought I would be Sitting down here where I'm sitting Looking more like my Daddy than me Looking more like my Daddy than me 20 some years from tomorrow These same boys and girls will find An old fading newspaper clipping Yellow and torn up with time Their daughters and sons will be standing Up there where they used to be And only then will they know what I'm feeling When they're sitting out here with me And I've stood up there where they're standing Behind the MDP But it's late, I'm tired and still hungry Acting more like my Daddy than me I'm getting more like my Daddy than me
