Lyrics

Chorus
WHAT?CHA GONNA BE CHILD
WHEN YOU GROW UP
WILL YOU BE A SINGER OR WILL YOU DRIVE A TRUCK
WILL YOU BE A DOCTOR OR WILL YOU FLY A PLANE
OR WILL YOU BE JUST LIKE THE MAN
THAT GAVE YOU YOUR NAME

IT?S HARD TO BELIEVE NOW YOUR ALMOST GROWN
BUT I NEVER MINDED RAISING YOU ALL ALONE
THE WINTERS WE SPENT TOGETHER
PLAYING IN THE SNOW
AND THE SUMMERS AT THE LAKE
WERE THE BEST TIMES I?VE KNOWN

Repeat CHORUS ? INSTRUMENTAL ? Repeat CHORUS

WELL ? I HOPE ? YOUR JUST LIKE THE MAN
THAT GAVE YOU YOUR NAME
