Just like me
This song is about my dad and myself. Even though we are different in a lot of ways, there was one thing we had in common, we will both unhappy my dad was a straight laced guy, had so much integrity, never drank a drugged to an excess, in fact I don't think he ever tried drugs, I know he liked appear every once in a while. He was very talented, as a creative director and the advertising business, and a painter. It wasn't much he couldn't do on the creative side of the line. Me on the other hand I have some of his creative talents, but I certainly didn't do the right things at several different times in my life the alcohol and the drugs the lying, the deceit, and just the lifestyle I led, led to much unhappiness for me. Sometimes I just think I'm an unhappy person, and I'm not sure if that's the depression that I have or it's just my nature. My dad on the other hand had a lot of reasons to not be unhappy. But as a kid he was an only child, and his father was very critical of him no matter what he did. No matter how much success he had in the advertising business or how wonderful his paintings were I don't think his dad ever appreciated it. Instead of positive reinforcement Tommy there was always negative criticism. This led my dad to be very unsure of himself, very unhappy

My dad was a man of talent and integrity
And for some reason he always seemed unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
When I was young we would play catch in the driveway
He taught me how to pitch, hit, skate, and drive on the highway
He was unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
He was always there when I acted like a fool
He was always there when I got in trouble in school
He was unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
He was an award-winning Ad man and talented painter
He was a good dad and devoted to my mom, I know he loved her
He was unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
He loved animals and dogs, especially our girl Tess
For such a talented man, his life would end up a mess
He was unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
