He said sit down son, we've gotta talk
|
I said "it's my life, I'm gonna do what I want
|
I'm not gonna crawl, I'm gonna walk
|
Walk right out that door"
|
|
He said "I used to be a lot like you
|
There's nothing you've done that I didn't do"
|
I left and said "Dad I'm bulletproof
|
We've been through this before"
|
|
I couldn't believe it
|
There was a tear in my old man's eye
|
When I was leaving
|
He tried to say goodbye
|
|
He said stand tall when you stumble
|
Stay pround when you're humbled
|
The lessons you learn
|
Won't be the ones that you plan
|
|
And every step up that mountain
|
Will be more than worth countin'
|
And when you walk through the valley
|
May you walk like a man
|
|
And now I've seen a couple miles on a gravel road
|
Been taught a couple things that I didn't know
|
And yeah, I've even got a kid of my own
|
Starting to sound a lot like me
|
|
I learned a little thing called sacrifice
|
Givin' up on dreams, lost a couple fights
|
All anybody wants is a better life
|
And something to believe
|
|
Stand tall when you stumble
|
Stay pround when you're humbled
|
All the lessons you learn
|
Won't be the ones that you plan
|
|
Every step up that mountain
|
Will be more that worth countin'
|
When you walk through the valley
|
May you walk like a man
|
|
I couldn't believe it
|
When the tears came to my eyes
|
It isn't easy
|
Standing on the other side
|
|
I said "Sit down son we gotta talk
|
Hey it's your life, you're gonna do what you want
|
I won't say crawl before you walk"
|
Cause I heard my old man in my mind sayin'
|
|
Stand tall when you stumble
|
Stay pround when you're humbled
|
All the lessons you learn
|
Won't be the ones that you plan
|
|
And every step up that mountain
|
Will be more that worth countin'
|
And when you walk through the valley
|
May you walk like a man
|
|
And when you go on without me
|
Walk, like a man
|
|
Walk on
|
