Album: 12 Stories (2013)

Just Like Him

He was kinda like Superman
Show up, save the day, disappear and then
We wouldn't hear from him 'til Christmas
He was always a whole lotta fun
Til he get one drink too drunk
A Fight would start he'd be breaking hearts and dishes
I used to say that I'd be damned
Before I'd ever fall in love with a man
Like the one Mama wasted her youth on

When I wait up all night alone I feel like I'm six years old again
You're just like him

Daddy had the bluest eyes
Kept my Mama hypnotized
Now I finally realize the reason
They say love's like coming home
And I came from a broken one
So why am I surprised you're always leaving

I used to say that I'd be damned before I'd ever fall in love with a man
Like the one Mama wasted her youth on
When I wait up all night alone I feel like I'm six years old again
You're just like him

Promises all sound the same
Swear up and down you're gonna change
But he never did
And I'm not that little kid
That's why I can't do this again
You're just like him
