I just spent an unusual evening at a banquet that still won't digestWatching this year's high school heroes get awarded for what they do bestThere's a letter for the one that jumped highestAnd one ran faster by farOne broke the 200 meterAnd one broke her arm on the barThe baseball team took the honorsThe MVP stole the showThe coach looked scared with a tie onSwore next year they'd be 15-0And in tomorrow morning's newspaperThere'll be pictures that surely revealYoung men looking strange with no caps onAnd tomboys in dresses and heelsAnd I've stood up there where they're standingAnd never once thought I would beSitting out here where I'm sittingLooking more like my daddy than meLooking more like my daddy than meTwenty some years from tomorrowThese same boys and girls will findAn old faded newspaper clippingYellow and torn up with timeTheir daughters and sons will be standingUp there where they used to beAnd only then will they know what I'm feelingWhen they're sitting out here with meAnd I've stood up there where they're standingBehind the MVPBut it's late, I'm tired and still hungryActing more like my daddy than meI'm getting more like my daddy than me
