A song about The Moose

One of my all time faves has a new song out that I heard for the first time today. He sings about his unborn son and wondering if he'll get into trouble like he himself did as a kid, then a teen as he grew into an adult. While I can't say that Steve or I were the wild and crazy kids Brad imagines in this song, Elliot certainly is. I can't relate to the "is he gonna be like me?" part of the song, but the description is SO MUCH the Moose that I cried at the end of the song. Here are the lyrics, do you recognize him?

I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy, I'm okay.
Then the doctor poitned to the corner of the screen
and said "you see that thing right there, well you know what that means"
I started wondering who he was going to be
and I thought, Heaven help us if he's anything like me.

He'll probably climb a tree to tall and ride his bike too fast.
End up every summer wearin' something in a cast.
He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street.
He's gonna get in trouble, oh he's gonna get in fights.
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep.
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me.

I can see him right now knees all skinned up
wit a magnifying glass tryin' to melt the Tonka truck.
won't he be a sight with his football helmet on?
That'll be his first love 'til his first love comes along.
He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens
And heaven help him if he's anything like me.

He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast,
get a speeding ticket he'll pay for mowing grass.
He's gonna get caught skipping class and be grounded for a week
He's gonna get in trouble we're gonna get in fights.
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep.
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me.

He's gonna love me and hate me along the way
Years are gonna fly by and I already dread the day...

He's gonna hug his momma and he's gonna shake my hand,
he's gonna act like he can't wait to leave.
But as he drives out he'll cry his eyes out if he's anything like me.
There's worst folks to be like, oh he'll be alright if he's anything like me.

Yikes.
