Mitchell Tenpenny - Walk Like Him Lyrics






Mama says I walk like him, feet at 10 and 2
My uncle says I talk like him, I get my point across the room
And if he were here today, he'd just laugh out loud when they say
'Cause he knew that his boy was just like him

So I cuss a little bit when the game's on TV
Got Eagles in the truck on repeat
Know how to use a hammer and nail
Don't whine about my problems
He was better at putting that bottle down
But I spend every day tryna make him proud
If I said that I didn't, I'd be lying
But I'm trying to walk like him

Papa said I'm stubborn like him, and I guess that he would know
My daddy got it from him, and I make 3 in a row
Late night, how it goes, a bloodline keeping him alive
One day, my babies'll look at me and see what he was like

So I cuss a little bit when the game's on TV
Got Eagles in the truck on repeat
Know how to use a hammer and nail
Don't whine about my problems
He was better at putting that bottle down
But I spend every day tryna make him proud
If I said that I didn't, I'd be lying
But I'm trying to walk like him
Oh, walk like him

I remember when he sat me down and told me he was sick
Said, "Son, don't worry 'bout me, you've got your life to live"
He started talking to God again
It'd been a while, like old friends
And when the time came for him, I know where he went

So I pray a little more a day than I used to
Call Mama every day like he said
Know how to treat a woman right and live a life
He was better at putting that bottle down
But I spend every day tryna make him proud
If I said that I didn't, I'd be lying
But I'll keep trying to walk like him
Oh, walk like him, yeah

Mama says I walk like him, feet at 10 and 2

    Mama says I walk like him, feet at 10 and 2
    My uncle says I talk like him, I get my point across the room
    And if he were here today, he'd just laugh out loud when they say
    'Cause he knew that his boy was just like him


    [Chorus 1]
    So I cuss a little bit when the game's on TV
    Got Eagles in the truck on repeat
    Know how to use a hammer and nail
    Don't whine about my problems
    He was better at putting that bottle down
    But I spend every day tryna make him proud
    If I said that I didn't, I'd be lying
    But I'm trying to walk like him


    [Verse 2]
    Papa said I'm stubborn like him, and I guess that he would know
    My daddy got it from him, and I make 3 in a row
    Ain't that how it goes, a bloodline keeping him alive
    One day, my babies'll look at me and see what he was like


    [Chorus 1]
    So I cuss a little bit when the game's on TV
    Got Eagles in the truck on repeat
    Know how to use a hammer and nail
    Don't whine about my problems
    He was better at putting that bottle down
    But I spend every day tryna make him proud
    If I said that I didn't, I'd be lying
    But I'm trying to walk like him
    Oh, walk like him


    [Bridge]
    I remember when he sat me down and told me he was sick
    Said, "Son, don't worry 'bout me, you've got your life to live"
    He started talking to God again
    It'd been a while, like old friends
    And when the time came for him, I know where he went


    [Chorus 2]
    So I pray a little more today than I used to
    Call Mama every day like he said to
    Know how to treat a woman right and how to live a life
    He was better at putting that bottle down
    But I spend every day tryna make him proud
    If I said that I didn't, I'd be lying
    But I'll keep trying to walk like him
    Oh, walk like him, yeah


    [Outro]
    Mama says I walk like him, feet at 10 and 2

    G.... T....

    This song reminds me of my oldest son and how he took his father's place after we lost my husband of 30 years

  40. d.... ....

    This song is so beautiful. Keep it up Mitch! Your crushing it right now

  41. F.... A....

    Nossa! É impressionante como a voz dele é parecida com a do John Mayer. Ficou muito mais evidente com essa pegada de música mais do John. Canta muito o Mitchell!

  42. C.... Y....

    Oh he wrote this for his dad.... I'm sorry Mitch.

  43. T.... P....

    " Mama says I walk like him " .....     cool thing for a boy to hear

    1.... ....

    I told my son this recently, he's 16 and lost is dad at 2 so he never knew him. But how ironic I just came across this song and Mitchell Tenpenny

  57. B.... B....

    💕💕💕💕

  58. M.... B....

    this song sounds so sweet.. thank you Mitchell.

  59. K.... ....

    This song gets me because everybody in my family tells me I'm my father's daughter. I look like him, walk like him, also have his traits. I can also tell my mother doesn't like looking at me because I look like my father. He passed away October 9th, 2012

    K.... ....

    So sorry to hear for your loss. My dad passed on June 3rd, 2012 and since then I've heard from most of my family that I'm my fathers daughter. Talk like him, look like him and I act like him a lot. My mom gets mad sometimes because I remind her so much of my dad just by how I talk.

    K.... ....

    So sorry for your loss. I know first hand it isn’t easy. I lost my daddy September 3 2012 and unfortunately lost my sweet mama last year on December 13 2017. Life is definitely not fair. I have my fathers traits and am the spitting image of my mama. ❤️

    K.... ....

    KaylaSPNFamily5/ChicagoCubs5 that’s my life every day. Keep on keepin on.

    K.... ....

    So me ..my mom hates that I'm just like him ..I lost my daddy july 4 2018 ..nothing been the same ..I didn't just lose him I lost my best friend, my hero my world my lifeline..but not only did I lose him I lost myself that day

    K.... ....

    Lost my Daddy last September! Miss him every day! 💜💜

  61. D.... A....

    I miss people who don't whine about their problems ... Seriously, it all just sounds like life to me and you will never change that. The only thing you really have control over is YOU, your attitude, your mindset, your actions. Once you understand that, you know what genuine power and strength are. Namaste

    D.... A....

    that is one of the most transcendentalist like comments I've ever read. keep it up.

    D.... A....

    Deb Alexander expressing feeling through music is great for healing! Its not whining

  62. E.... ....

    Okay crying

  63. D.... ....
