INTRO
D F
Well, he came from college just the other day,
G D
So much like a man I just had to say,
D F
"Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?"

He shook his head, and he said with a smile,
C C/B C/A C/G
"What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys.
F F/E D
See you later. Can I have them please?"

"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
F F/E D
But we'll get together then.
F F/E D
You know we'll have a good time then."
D F
I've long since retired and my son's moved away.

I called him up just the other day.

"I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
G D
He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.

You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu,
F F/E D
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad.

He'd grown up just like me.

My boy was just like me.
