The Man He Sees In Me Lyrics

He's Spiderman in Walmart boots and a camouflage hat
With a baby blue Zebco that gets hung up every cast
He thinks he’s learning fishing from the man that taught Bill Dance
And I think as I untangle it and put it in his hands

I hope he never finds out that I didn't hang the moon
And I've never scared a monster out the closet in his room
One day between him leavin’ home and drivin' on my knee
Maybe I'll finally be, the man he sees in me

He waves that blanket like the checkered flag pullin' offa the interstate
With a Happy Meal cup held high like I won the big race
When we get home, his mind is blown when I untie his shoes
And he smiles and says, "Daddy, there ain't nothin' you can't do"

Well, I hope he never finds out that I didn't hang the moon
And I’ve never scared a monster out the closet of his room
Some day between him leavin’ home and drivin' on my knee
But maybe I’ll finally be, the man he sees in me


Well, I know he's gonna find out that I didn't hang the moon
And there never was a monster in the closet of his room
Some day when he's drivin’ home with his son on his knee
Well, I hope he's tryna be, the man he sees in me

The man he sees in me
The man he sees in me
