| I remember looking up
|
| To look up to him
|
| And I remember most the time
|
| He wasn’t there
|
| I’d be waiting at the door
|
| When he got home at night
|
| He’d pass me by to go to pass out in his chair
|
| And I’d say
|
| Walk a little straighter daddy
|
| You’re swaying side to side
|
| You’re footsteps make me dizzy
|
| And no matter how I try
|
| I keep tripping and stumbling
|
| If you’d look down here you’d see
|
| Walk a little straighter daddy
|
| You’re leading me
|
| He stumbled in the gym
|
| On graduation day
|
| And I couldn’t help but feel
|
| So ashamed
|
| And I wasn’t surprised a bit
|
| When he didn’t stay
|
| He stumbled out before they called my name
|
| And I’d say
|
| Walk a little straighter daddy
|
| You’re swaying side to side
|
| You’re footsteps make me dizzy
|
| And no matter how I try
|
| I keep tripping and stumbling
|
| If you’d look down here you’d see
|
| Walk a little straighter daddy
|
| You’re leading me
|
| The old mans still like he always was
|
| But I love him anyway
|
| If I’ve learned one thing from him
|
| Its my kids will never have to say
|
| And I’d say
|
| Walk a little straighter daddy
|
| You’re swaying side to side
|
| You’re footsteps make me dizzy
|
| And no matter how I try
|
| I keep tripping and stumbling
|
| If you’d look down here you’d see
|
| Walk a little straighter daddy
|
| You’re leading me
|
| Yeah walk a little straighter daddy
|
| You’re leading me |
