        C#                D#m
He said sit down son, we gotta talk
       G#               C#
I said its my life, Im gonna do what I want
A#m            D#m
Im gonna crawl, and Im gonna walk
G#                     C#
Walk right out of 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"

             A#m     F#
I couldnt believe it
             C#                   G#
There was a tear in my old's man eye
            A#m   F#
When I was leaving
     F#
He tried to say goodbye

Chorus:
               C#             G#
He says stand tall when you stumble
       A#m            F#
Stay proud when your humble?
     C#          G#                  F#        C#
The lessons you learned, wont be the ones you plan
       A#m          C#
Every step up that mountain
         F#              A#m
Will be more than whats counting ?
              D#m              A#m
But when you walk through the valley
         F#         C#
May you walk like a man

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

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

I said sit down son, we gotta talk
Hey it's your life, your gonna do what you want
I wont say crawl before you walk ?
Cause I heard my old man in my mind
He say

Chorus

And when you go on without me
Walk, like a man

Walk on
