Same as You

I thought of you on your birthday
 You might have turned fifty-six
 On a barstool next to Tom Farmer
 With your eye on Lucy Glide
 Well you were lonely and abandoned
 A dreamer through and through
 But a homesteader needs a family
 You don't like to sleep alone
 I was in another long talk
 With the girl I loved to love
 About priorities and commitments
 Oh man, I was letting her down
 As she got up and left the room
 I saw my stepmom leaving you
 I sat and wondered what it was you did
 Or what it was you couldn't give
 I was scared I'd be the same as you
 I thought of you on your birthday
 I'm sure my half-brothers did, too
 And after twenty-five years together
 I hear my stepmom resents you
 I was in another long good-bye
 With the girl I loved to love
 She wanted answers I thought I had
 I wanted freedom most of all
 As I closed the door behind her
 I saw your family leaving you
 I stood and wondered what it was you did
 Or what it was you couldn't give
 I was scared I'd be the same as you
 As she got up and left the room
 I saw my stepmom leaving you
 I sat and wondered what it was you did
 Or what it was you couldn't give
 As I closed the door behind her
 I saw your family leaving you
 I stood and wondered what it was you did
 Or what it was you couldn't give
 I was scared I'd be the same as you
 I was scared I'd be the same as you
 I was scared I'd be the same as you
 I was scared I'd be the same as you
