Subject: Please ID this song!
I need some help with the name of the song. It is by a male artist, and its about his relationship with his father and then with his son. The chorus goes something like this "...Little boy Blue and the Man in the Moon. Daddy when you comin' home? Son, I don't know when, but will get together then, we're gonna have a good time then." At the end, the singer says something to the effect of "My Boy's Just Like Me."

Don't think so, It was written by Harry Chapin. It has been covered by Johnny Cash, Ricky Skaggs, and Ugly Kid Joe to name a few.
