[Acoustic guitar Instrumental] [Male vocal] [Verse] He never liked to hunt or fish, He was someone else’s Kid. Not much for shootin’ the breeze, He was someone else’s kid. [Pre-Chorus] If you ever want to find him, You just look up, in the trees. Where that monkey man was hid, He was someone else’s kid. [Chorus] Not big on authority, Never in the majority. Sometimes I wish he were, ---- Someone else’s kid. [Verse 2] He found a girl, that was it, He was someone else’s kid. Had a brain, like no one did, He was someone else’s kid. [Verse 3] He didn’t like the social scene, He just waited to be eighteen. Had a habit of driftin’ away, To solve things, in his own way. [Chorus] Not big on authority, Never in the majority. Sometimes I wish he were, ---- Someone else’s kid. [Violin instrumental] [Bridge] Gone to heavens home, his minds at ease, Watchin’ over the family he leaves. I’m proud of you son for all you did, Hope you can remember, being my kid. [Outro] You’re not mine now, --- you’re someone else’s kid You’ll learn of His love, and what He did. I’ve watched you close for twenty years, Now He’ll hold you close and dry your tears. [Fade out] You’re not mine now, --- your someone else’s kid. (Not mine, --- you’re someone else’s kid.) (Someone else's kid.)
