intro 1

xhe 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

chorus :
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 tripping and stumbling
and even though i’ve turned 18
walk a little straighter Daddy
you’re still leading me

G

bridge :
F
the old mans still like he always was
Em7
but i love him anyway
Am
if i’ve learned one thing from him
C D
its my kids will never have to say

walk a little straighter Daddy
you’re swaying side to side
you’re footsteps make me dizzy
and no matter how i try
i keep tripping and stumbling
if you’d look down here you’d see
walk a little straighter Daddy
