Brad Paisley - Anything Like Me

This is Brad Paisley's newest song, I heard it on the radio a couple mornings ago and I can't get it out of my head.  It's really stuck with me since we are having a boy. . . I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.



I remember sayin' I don't care either way

Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm okay

Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen

And said, "You see that thing right there, well you know what that means"

I started wondering who he was going to be

And I thought heaven help us if he's anything like me

He'll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast

End up every summer wearin' something in a cast

He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street
He's gonna get in trouble, oh he's gonna get in fights

I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep

It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me
I can see him right now, knees all skinned up

With a magnifying glass tryin' to melt the Tonka truck

Won't he be a sight with his football helmet on?

That'll be his first love 'til his first love comes along
He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens

And heaven help him if he's anything like me
He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast

Get a speeding ticket, he'll pay for mowing grass

He's gonna get caught skippin' class and be grounded for a week
He's gonna get into trouble, we're gonna get in fights

I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep

It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me
He's gonna love me and hate me along the way

Years are gonna fly by and I already dread the day
He's gonna hug his momma, he's gonna shake my hand

He's gonna act like he can't wait to leave

But as he drives out he'll cry his eyes out if he's anything like me

There's worst folks to be like, oh he'll be alright if he's anything like me
