Lyrics
VERSE
HE LOOKS LIKE ALL THE OTHER BOYS
HIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
UNTIL THE TEACHER SAYS TELL ME YOUR NAMES
AND WHAT YOUR DADDYS DO
HE SLIDES DOWN IN HIS CHAIR
HANGS HIS HEAD IN SHAME
HE DON'T WANT TO SAY HIS DADDY'S GONE
YOUNG BOYS THEY WANT TO BE THE SAME
AT NIGHT HE LIES IN HIS BACKYARD
DRAWING PICTURES IN THE STARS
HE FINDS ORION'S BELT AND SWORD
IT'S ONE WAY HE LOOKS FOR
CHORUS
A MAN IN THE PICTURE
A HAND REACHING OUT ON A HILL
A VOICE HE CAN HEAR HIGH ABOVE THE CROWD
THAT SAYS SOME I'M WATCHING AND I ALWAYS WILL
SOMEONE TO SAY YOU KNOCKED THE COVER OFF THE BALL YOUNG MAN
SOMEONE TO SAY YOU CAN
VERSE
IT BREAKS HIS HEART TO SEE HIS MOMMA
AT NIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TV
WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE LIVE THE LIFE
SHE HOPED HERS WOULD BE
HE SEES THE MARLBORO MAN ON BILLBOARDS
HE STUDIES MEN IN MAGAZINES
HE WANTS TO BE THE PICTURE OF A MAN
HIS MOMMA LOST AND NEEDS
WITH FRIENDS HE ACTS LIKE HE DON'T CARE
HE SMILES AND JOKES ALOT
HE'D RATHER THEY ALL LAUGH
THAN PITY HIM CAUSE HE AIN'T GOT
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
AFTER YEARS OF SEARCHING
HE FINALLY FINDS A MAN
IN THE REFLECTION OF HIS OWN SON'S EYES
LOOKING BACK AT HIM
HE SMILES AT LAST
KNOWING HIS BOY HAS
CHORUS
A MAN IN THE PICTURE
A HAND REACHING OUT ON A HILL
A VOICE HE CAN HEAR HIGH ABOVE THE CROWD
THAT SAYS SON I'M WATCHING AND I ALWAYS WILL
SOMEONE TO SAY YOU KNOCKED THE COVER OFF THE BALL YOUNG MAN
SOMEONE TO SAY YOU CAN
HE LOOKS LIKE ALL THE OTHER BOYS
HIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
