Second chair there on the right
D* Cmaj7*
Everybody used to say I had his eyes
[Chorus]
G Em7
He gave me my first name, I didn't get his last
D C
Yeah, he'd have had to marry my mom for that
G
I got no birthdays and no ball games
Em7
No first beer to talk about
D C
Got nobody I could learn from when my truck broke down

He takes a little off the top and sweeps it up
Em D C
I just pay him for his time and bite my tongue

Say "Thanks for the haircut"

I wonder when you tie that black cape on me

You've never been my dad but I'll still always be your son

I hit the counter on the way out

Swipe my credit card to pay

And as I sign it at the bottom
