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

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"

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

I saw him in the attic sittin' cross legged on the floor
With some old photographs, he point and 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
Merry christmas, son, i wish your grandpa were here
He was young once too and looked like me and you
