Be Like Him

(앨범: Going Home - 2021)

My stepdad, he drank em up from dusk to dawn
His regret poured to the brim and overflowed till he was gone
My real dad, he acted like he didn't know
Turns out I was growing like a weed right down the road
I don't wanna be like him, I don't wanna be like them

I wanna be a wild thing
Running free
Like the west wind
Can't catch a hold of me
Keep em guessing
Like I'm only working for the weekend
Just wanna be in charge
Of loving you
Like an old heart
With not much else to do
Lets get a good start
This right here is my favorite part
That old man running wild loving you, he'd risk his life and limb
I wanna be like him

Same old guy, trucker hat, and smoking marlboros
Those Saturday nights are fun, but come Monday your on your own
That suit and tie, dressed for work, and talking on the phone
Always going somewhere, everywhere except for home
I don't wanna be like him I don't wanna be like them

I wanna be a wild thing
Running free
Like the west wind
Can't catch a hold of me
Keep em guessing
Like I'm only working for the weekend
Just wanna be in charge
Of loving you
Like an old heart
With not much else to do
Lets get a good start
This right here is my favorite part
That old man running wild loving you, he'd risk his life and limb
I wanna be like him
Wanna be like him, wanna be like him, oh yeah

I wanna be a wild thing
Running free
Like the west wind
Can't catch a hold of me
Keep em guessing
Like I'm only working for the weekend
Just wanna be in charge
Of loving you
Like an old heart
With not much else to do
Lets get a good start
This right here is my favorite part
That old man running wild loving you, he'd risk his life and limb
I wanna be like him
