It's not just me who's watchin' you've caught everybody's eye
The old man's still like he always was but I love him anyway
I keep trippin' and stumblin', if you'd look down here you'd see
I keep trippin' and stumblin', if you'd look down here you'd see
He'd pass me by to go pass out in his chair
He stumbled in the gym on Graduation Day
Walk a little straighter daddy, you're leading me
And you're trippin' and stumblin' and even though I've turned 18
And I thought, walk a little straighter, daddy
You're swayin' side to side
Walk a little straighter, daddy you're still leading me
He stumbled out before they called my name
If I've learned one thing from him it's my kids will never have to say
And I'd say, walk a little straighter, daddy
I'd be waitin' at the door when he got home at night
Walk a little straighter, daddy, you're swayin' side to side
And I wasn't surprised a bit when he didn't stay
You're swayin' side to side
Your footsteps make me dizzy and no matter how I try
Your footsteps make me dizzy and no matter how I try
And I couldn't help but feel so ashamed
Walk a little straighter, daddy you're leading me
