Walk A Little Straighter (Album Version)

I remember lookin' up to look up to him

And I remember most of the time he wasn't there

I'd be waitin' at the door when he got home at night

He'd pass me by to go pass out in his chair

And I'd say walk a little straighter daddy

You're swayin' side to side

Your footsteps make me dizzy and no matter how I try

I keep trippin' and stumblin' 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 thought walk a little straighter daddy

You're swayin' side to side

It's not just me who's watchin' you've caught everybody's eye

And you're trippin' and stumblin' and even though I've turned 18

Walk a little straighter daddy you're still leading me

The old man's still like he always was but I love him anyway

If I've learned one thing from him it's my kids will never have to say

Walk a little straighter daddy you're swayin' side to side

Your footsteps make me dizzy and no matter how I try

I keep trippin' and stumblin' 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
