  • 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 "Ya see that thing right there, well you know what that means"

    And 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 to 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, 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 a 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 in 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, 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 worse folks to be like
    Aw he'll be alright, if he's anything like me Writer/s: Brad Paisley, Charles Dubois, Dave Turnbull
