The Man He Sees in Me

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 who taught Bill Dance
And I think as I untangle it and put it in his hands

Well, 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
Some day between him leaving home and driving on my knee
Maybe I'll finally be, the man he sees in me

Waves that blanket like the checkered flag pulling 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
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
Some day between him leaving home and driving on my knee
Maybe I'll finally be, the man he sees in me

I know he's gonna find out that I didn't hang the room
And there never was a monster in the closet of his room
Some day when he's driving home with his son on his knee
I hope he's tryna be, the man he sees in me

The man he sees in me
