Walk Like A Man Lyrics

He said sit down son, weve gotta talk
I said its my life, Im gonna do what I want
Im not gonna crawl, Im gonna walk
Walk right out that door

He said I used to be a lot like you
Theres nothing youve done that I didnt do
I laughed and said Dad Im bulletproof
Weve been through this before

I couldnt believe it
There was a tear in my old mans eye
When I was leaving
He tried to say goodbye, he said

Stand tall when you stumble
Stand proud when youre humble
All the lessons you learn wont be the ones that youll claim
Every step up that mountain
Would be more than worth counting
But when you walk through the valley may you walk like a man

Ive seen a couple miles on a gravel road
Picked up a couple things I didnt know
And now Ive 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

Stand tall when you stumble
Stand proud when youre humble
All the lessons you learn wont be the ones that youll claim
Every step up that mountain
Would be more than worth counting
But when you walk through the valley may you walk like a man, yeah

I couldnt believe it
When the tears came to my eyes
It isnt easy standing on the other side

I said sit down, son, weve gotta talk
Hey, its your life, youre gonna do what you want
I wont say crawl before you walk
Cos I heard my old man in my mind, saying

Stand tall when you stumble
Stand proud when youre humble
All the lessons you learn wont be the ones that youll claim
Every step up that mountain
Would be more than worth counting
But when you walk through the valley may you walk like a man
And when you go on without me walk like a man, oh walk on
