His early mornin' attitude

You have to drag him out of bed

Only Frosted Flakes will do

He gets that from me

Yeah, he gets that from me



His curly hair and his knobby knees

The way the sun brings those freckles out

Talk and talk never miss a beat

Yeah, he gets that from me

He gets that from me



He looks at me with those big brown eyes

He's got me in the palm of his hands

And I swear sometimes

It's just like you're here again

He smiles that little crooked smile

There's no denying he's your child



Without him I don't know what I'd do

He gets that from you

Oh, he gets that from you



How he loves your old guitar

Yeah, he's taught himself to play

He melts my heart

Tells me he loves me everyday

And cracks a joke at the perfect time

Makes me laugh when I want to cry



That boy means everything to me

He gets that from you

He gets that from you



Last night I heard him pray

"Lord help me and Mama make it through,

And tell Daddy we'll be o.k."

He said he sure misses you

He sure misses you

He really misses you



He gets that from me
