The Man He Sees in Me
[Verse 1]
He's Spiderman in Walmart boots and a camouflage hat
With a baby blue Zebco that gets hung up every cast
He thinks he’s learning fishing from the man that taught Bill Dance
And I think as I untangle it and put it in his hands
[Chorus]
I hope he never finds out that I didn't hang the moon
And I've never scared a monster out the closet in his room
One day between him leavin’ home and drivin' on my knee
Maybe I'll finally be, the man he sees in me
[Verse 2]
He waves that blanket like the checkered flag pullin' offa the interstate
With a Happy Meal cup held high like I won the big race
When we get home, his mind is blown when I untie his shoes
And he smiles and says, "Daddy, there ain't nothin' you can't do"
[Chorus]
Well, I hope he never finds out that I didn't hang the moon
And I’ve never scared a monster out the closet of his room
Some day between him leavin’ home and drivin' on my knee
But maybe I’ll finally be, the man he sees in me
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
Well, I know he's gonna find out that I didn't hang the moon
And there never was a monster in the closet of his room
Some day when he's drivin’ home with his son on his knee
Well, I hope he's tryna be, the man he sees in me
[Outro]
The man he sees in me
The man he sees in me
