walk a little straighter
I remember looking up To look up to him And I remember most the times He wasn't there I'd be waiting 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 swaying 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  Well 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 swaying side to side It's not just me who's watching You've caught everybody's eye And you're trippin' and stumblin' And even though I've turned eighteen Walk a little straighter, daddy You're still leading me  The old man's still like he always was, But I love him anyway And if I've learned one thing from him It's my kids will never have to say  Walk a little straighter, daddy You're swaying 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 litlle straighter, daddy You're leading me  Yeah walk a little straighter, daddy You're leading me
