[Lyric] Be Like Him (Bryan Lanning)

[Verse 1]
My step dad he drank ‘em up from dusk to dawn
His regret poured to the brim and overflowed till he was gone
My real dad he acting like he didn't know
Tunes out I was growing like a weed
Right down the road

[Pre Chorus]
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 catch a hold of me, keep 'em guessing
Like I'm only working for the weekend

[Chorus]
Just want to be in charge
Of loving you like an old heart
Without much else to do let’s get a good start
Cause this right here is my favorite part
That old man running wild loving you he’d risk his life and limb
I want to be like him
[Verse 2]
Same old guy, trucker hat, and smoking Marlboros
Those Saturday nights are fun but come Monday you’re on your own
That suit and tie dressed for work and talking on the phone
Always going somewhere, everywhere except for home

[Pre Chorus]
I don’t wanna to be like him
I don’t wanna to be like them
I want to 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

[Chorus]
Just wanna to be in charge
Of loving you like an old heart
Without much else to do lets get a good start
Cause this right here is my favorite part
And that old man running wild loving you he’d risk his life and limb

[Refrain]
I wanna be like him (him x3)
Wanna be like him
Wanna be like him (oh, yeah)
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
[Outro]
Just want to be in charge of loving you like an old heart
Without much else to do let’s get a good start
Cause 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
