Just Like Him

He was kinda like Superman

Show up, save the day, disappear and then

We wouldn't hear from him till Christmas

And he was always a whole lotta fun

Till he'd 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

They 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
