Bryan Lanning - Be Like Him lyrics

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
