I'm a wild child, definition
Of a can't tell me nothin' won't listen
You're an angel, girl you're perfect
Don't know how you thought I was worth it
Well before too long 1 and 1 made 3
And I'm scared to death ‘cause he looks like me
And I pray to God
That apple falls a little further from this tree

I know that boy won't walk on water
‘Cause he comes from my blood
And I pray one day he'll look back and not be all I was
He might not live by all red letters
Somethin' close to that will do
Oh if he don't take after Jesus
I hope he takes after you, I know he will

All of your grace, and less of my crazy
So he skips all the need a lot of savin'
Have a better track record than his old man
Only thing I got right was your left hand (yeah)

I know that boy won't walk on water
‘Cause he comes from my blood
And I pray one day he'll look back and not be all I was
He might not live by all red letters
Somethin' close to that will do
Oh if he don't take after Jesus I hope he takes after you

He'll probably pick up a guitar, maybe write a few songs
Oh but if he's half like you, he'll do half as much wrong

I know that boy won't walk on water
‘Cause he comes from my blood
I hope one day he looks back
And says his dad raised him good
He might not live by all red letters
Somethin' close to that will do
Oh if he don't take after Jesus, I hope he takes after you
Oh, he takes after you
