The Walk

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down our long dusty driveway, I didn't wanna go But I set out with tears in my eyes a-wonderin' Daddy took me by the hand Looked out at the school bus and his little man and said "Don't worry, boy, it'll be alright" [Chorus] 'Cause I took this walk you're walkin' now Boy, I've been in your shoes Well, you can't hold back the hands of time It's just somethin' you've got to do So dry your eyes, I understand Just what you're goin' through 'Cause I took this same walk with my old man Boy, I've been in your shoes [Verse 2] Down our long dusty driveway, I set my mind to go Well, I was eighteen and wild and free and a-wonderin' Daddy took me by the hand Looked out at the world and at his grown man and said "Don't worry, boy, it'll be alright" [Chorus] 'Cause I took this walk you're walkin' now Boy, I've been in your shoes Well, you can't hold back the hands of time It's just somethin' you've got to do So dry your eyes, I understand Just what you're goin' through 'Cause I took this same walk with my old man Boy, I've been in your shoes [Verse 3] Down our long dusty driveway, this time we both would go Well, he had grown old and gray and his mind was a-wanderin' Daddy took me by the hand Said, "I know where we're goin' and I understand Don't worry, boy, it'll be alright" [Chorus] 'Cause I took this walk you're walkin' now Boy, I've been in your shoes Well, you can't hold back the hands of time It's just somethin' you've got to do So dry your eyes, I understand Just what you're goin' through 'Cause I took this same walk with my old man Boy, I've been in your shoes Yes, I took this walk you're walkin' now Boy, I've been in your shoes
