When I was your age I was just like you [00:00:10]

And just look at me now I'm sure you do [00:00:13]

But your grandfather was just as bad [00:00:16]

And you should have heard him trash his dad [00:00:19]

Life's no picnic that's a given [00:00:22]

My mom's mom died when my mom was seven [00:00:25]

My mom's father was a tragic guy [00:00:27]

But he was so distant and nobody knows why [00:00:30]

Now your mother's family you know them [00:00:37]

Each and every one a gem [00:00:45]

Each and every one a gem [00:00:48]

When I was your age I was a mess [00:00:51]

On a bad day I still am I guess [00:00:53]

I think I know what you're going through [00:00:57]

Everything changes but nothing is new [00:00:59]

And I know that I'm miserable can't you see [00:01:02]

I just want you to be just like me [00:01:05]

Boys grow up to be grown men [00:01:08]

And then men change back into boys again [00:01:11]

You're starting up and I'm winding down [00:01:18]

Ain't it big enough for us both in this town [00:01:25]

Say it's big enough for us both in this town [00:01:29]

When I was your age I thought I hated my dad [00:01:47]

And that the feeling was a mutual one that we had [00:01:50]

We fought each other day and night [00:01:53]

I was always wrong he was always right [00:01:55]

But he had the power and he needed to win [00:01:59]

His life half over mine about to begin [00:02:01]

I'm not sure about that Oedipal stuff [00:02:05]

But when we were together it was always rough [00:02:07]

Hate is a strong word I want to back-track [00:02:14]

The bigger the front then the bigger the back [00:02:22]

The bigger the front then the bigger the back [00:02:25]

Now you and me are me and you [00:02:28]

And it's a different ballgame though not brand-new [00:02:30]

I don't know what all of this fighting is for [00:02:33]

But we're having us a teenage/middle-age war [00:02:36]

I don't want to die and you want to live [00:02:39]

It takes a little bit of take and a whole lot of give [00:02:42]

It never really ends though each race is run [00:02:45]

This thing between a father and a son [00:02:48]

Maybe it's power and push and shove [00:02:55]

Maybe it's hate but probably it's love [00:03:02]

Maybe it's hate but probably it's love [00:03:05]
