Takes After You

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, one and one made three 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'll 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 lotta 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'll 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 But 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'll do Oh, if he don't take after Jesus, I hope he takes after you Oh-oh ooh, he takes after you
