Walk On The Rocks

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
After seventeen years behind barsAnd lookin' back on his mistakesHe sat down and poured out his heartWhen his son came to see him todayHe spoke with a voice that trembledTryin' to hold back the tearsHe said I ain't been much of a fatherSon, I wish I could turn back the years'Cause life's like a riverAnd the water is deepCross it with careOr you'll end up like meLet my mistakesBe your steppin' stonesAnd walk on the rocks that I stumbled onHe said son stay away from the bottleWatch out for the company you keepAnd hold on to those you love'Cause love is a man's greatest needThe right way may not be easyThe right road ain't always straightSon, please don't follow the footstepsThat lead to where I am today'Cause life's like a riverAnd the water is deepCross it with careOr you'll end up like meLet my mistakesBe your steppin' stonesAnd walk on the rocks that I stumbled onWalk on the rocks that I stumbled on
