I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Bm G
Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm ok

Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
Bm G
And said "Ya see that thing right there well ya know what that means"

And I started wondering who he was going to be

And I thought heaven help us if hes anything like me

I can see him right now knees all skinned up
Bm G
With a magnifying glass tryin to melt the Tonka truck
D A
Wont he be a sight with his football helmet on
Bm G
That'll be his first love til his first love comes along
A G
He'll get his heart broke by the time hes in his teens
A G A
And heaven help him if hes anything like me
G A
He'll probably stay out to late and drive his car to fast
D Bm
Get a speeding ticket he'll pay for mowing grass

Years are gonna fly by I already dread the day
