My heart never raced so fast
Hen the day we got the news
I always thought there was gonna be
One of me now I guess there's two

Wasn't even gonna try for another
We thought those days were through
God must've had other plans
Because he gave me you
I'm already proud of who you're gonna be

But if it's up to me
I hope your first car is a pick-up truck
And your first love is my old glove
Hope you break a rule or two on your way to 18

I hope you drive too fast and grow up
Slow and make God laugh at what you know
Hope your hands are dirty and your heart stays clean

You're a lot like her and a little like me
Hope you find love and get everything you're after
Ask the prettiest girl in the room
To dance like it don't matter

Hope I raise you right
And teach you everything you need
Maybe I'll just tell you what my daddy said to me
Feels like I waited my whole life to see

And if it's up to me
I hope your first car's a pick-up truck
And your first love is my old glove
Hope you break a rule or two on your way to 18
Hope you drive too fast and grow up

Slow and may God laugh at what you know
Hope your hands are dirty and your heart stays clean
You're a lot like her and a little like me
I hope you call from time to time fight for love and learn to cry

Keep your head held high and don't forget to hit your knees
Hope you drive too fast and grow up
Slow and may God laugh at what you know

Hope your hands are dirty and your heart stays clean
I wouldn't worry about a thing
You're a lot like her and a little like me
A little like me
