Raleigh Keegan - Like My Daddy Was

Verse 1
He never gave me his last name
Never gave me anythin'.
My whole life wasn't all that rough but,
I've spent a lot of time growin' up.
I'm wonderin' if I'm like my daddy was.
Are his eyes blue like mine?
Did I get his stubborn side?
Is it somethin' I can overcome?
Or it's livin' in my blood?
Was I born, born like my daddy was?
Chorus
I don't know about him
But I know about me.
This apple fell
Far from the tree.

Someday I'll have a family
Of my own,
And I'm gonna be there
Steady as stone.

They won't have to wonder
About my love.
Cuz I ain't gonna be
Like my daddy was.
Verse 2
I never walked in his shoes
But, he could've been
I really want him to.

Was it somethin' he was hidin' from?
Maybe he was just young and dumb
Oh maybe he was like his daddy was.

Chorus
I don't know about him
But I know about me.
This apple fell
Far from the tree.

Someday I'll have a family
Of my own,
And I'm gonna be there
Steady as stone.

They won't have to wonder
About my love.
Cuz I ain't gonna be
Like my daddy was.

Chorus
I don't know about him
But I know about me.
This apple fell
Far from the tree.

Someday I'll have a family
Of my own,
And I'm gonna be there
Steady as stone.

They won't have to wonder
About my love.
Cuz I ain't gonna be
Like my daddy was.

Outro
There's a man that I call “dad”
Best one a kid could have.
He raised me right
And made me tough.

He showed me what a real man does.
He ain't nothin' like my daddy was.
No, he ain't nothin' like my daddy was.
