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 Suprised 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
