The Man He Sees In Me

He's Spider-Man 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 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 leaving home and driving on my knee Maybe I'll finally be the man he sees in me He waves that blanket like a checkered flag Pulling off of 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 nothing you can't do" 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 Someday between him leaving home and driving on my knee Maybe I'll finally be the man he sees in me 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 Someday when he's driving home with his son on his knee Well I hope he's trying to be the man he sees in me The man he sees in me The man he sees in me
