Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 2] And every step up that mountain Will be more than worth counting And when you walk through the valley May you walk like a man [Verse 2] 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 Giving up on dreams, lost a couple fights All anybody wants is a better life And something to believe [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] [Verse 3] 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 saying [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] [Outro] And when you go on without me Walk, like a man Walk on
