He said sit down son, we gotta talk
I said it s my life, I m gonna do what I want
I m not gonna crawl, Im gonna walk
Walk right out that door
He said I used to be a lot like you
Theres nothing you ve done that I didn t do
I laughed and said Dad I m bullet proof
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
He said
Stand tall when you stumble stay proud when you re humbled
The lessons you learn won t be the ones you plan
Every step up that mountain will be more than worth counting
But when you walk through the valley may you walk like a man
I ve seen a couple of miles on a gravel road
Been taught a couple things that I didn t know
Now I even got a kid of my own starting to sound a lot like me
I learned a little thing called sacrifice
Given up on dreams, lost a couple fights
All anybody wants is a better life and something to believe
Stand tall when you stumble stay proud when you re humbled
The lessons you learn won t be the ones you plan
Every step up that mountain will be more than worth counting
But when you walk through the valley may you walk like a man
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
Stand tall when you stumble stay proud when you re humbled
All the lessons you learn won t be the ones you plan
Every step up that mountain will 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
Walk on
