Intro
Verse 1
He Raced That Engine Down The Track
'Round The Tree On Christmas Day
I Was So Amazed, My Dad Would Play With Trains
I Saw A Sparkle In His Eye
Then I Heard Him Say
Come On, Son, Let's Play
I Was Young Once Too
Verse 2
He Washed That Buick Faithfully
Lord, He Kept Her Clean
I Thought That Machine
Meant More To Him Than Me
On The Day I Turned Sixteen
He Threw Me The Keys
Said I Was Young Once Too
Now She Belongs To You
Bridge
He Was Such A Young Man Then
I'm Older Than That Now
I Hope I Measure Up To Him
When The Circle Comes Around
Verse 3
I Saw Him In The Attic
Sitting Cross-Legged On The Floor
With Some Old Photographs
He Pointed And He Laughed
He Said, That's Me In That Picture
I Said, "No Son, That's Your Dad"
I Was Young Once Too
And Looked A Lot Like You
I Was Young Once Too
I Was Young Once Too
Outro
(Spoken) Merry Christmas, Son
I Wish Your Grandpa Were Here
(Sung) He Was Young Once Too
Looked Like Me And You
