Cover art for A Lot Like Me lyrics by Mary Chapin Carpenter

I've never quite worked out what the the phrase "he looked a helluva lot like me" means. It would seem unlikely that the guy had a physical resemblance to MCC, is it that they were both looking for the same thing in music? "Looking" as in "searching"? Whatever the answer, a great autobiographical song of MCC's early days in music, described in a wonderfully flowing lyric.
