Daddy, when you were a little kid
What did you dream you'd be
When you grew up?
And daddy, did you think that you'd play ball
In them Major Leagues
Crankin' home runs?
And did you wanna be an astronaut
Maybe the President
Or maybe not grow up at all like Peter Pan?
Well, son, I dreamt that I'd be big and strong
Like Superman or a better man than him
I thought that I'd get rich and get a big old house
On a big old piece of land
And you showed up and wrecked my life
Son, you helped me realize
That bein' a dad to you
Is a dream I never had come true
Son, don't ever lose sight of that little boy
Inside of you when you grow up
And son, hope you always hear your mama's voice
Reminding you where you come from
And if you ever feel like givin' up
Like you're a million miles away
Remember all those innocent dreams
And they'll all fall into place
And if you dream of growin' big and strong
Like Superman, you'll be a better man than him
If one day you get rich and get a big old house
I hope you think of your old man
When a girl shows up and wrecks your life
And makes you realize
What a grown man's gotta do
When a dream he never had comes true
A dream he never had comes true
Well, I never was an astronaut
Never met the President
But watchin' you grow up
Has been my best accomplishment
I thought that I'd be big and strong like Superman
But we both know I ain't him
And I have fallen down a time or two
But I get back up again
Since you showed up and wrecked my life
Son, you helped me realize
I still got growin' up to do
My son, growin' up with you
Is the dream I never had come true
Dream I never had come true
