Songtext
Down our long, dusty driveway, I didn't wanna go
But I set out with tears in my eyes a-wonderin'
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out at the school bus and his little man and said
"Don't worry, boy, it'll be all right"
'Cause I took this walk you're walkin' now
Boy, I've been in your shoes
But you can't hold back the hands of time
It's just somethin' you've got to do
So dry your eyes, I understand just what you're goin' through
'Cause I took this same walk with my old man
Boy, I've been in your shoes
Down our long, dusty driveway, I set my mind to go
Well, I was 18 and wild and free and a-wonderin'
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out at the world and at his grown man and said
"Don't worry, boy, it'll be all right"
'Cause I took this walk you're walkin' now
Boy, I've been in your shoes
But you can't hold back the hands of time
It's just somethin' you've got to do
So dry your eyes, I understand just what you're goin' through
'Cause I took this same walk with my old man
Boy, I've been in your shoes
Down our long, dusty driveway, this time we both would go
Well, he had grown old and gray and his mind was a-wanderin'
Daddy took me by the hand
Said, "I know where we're goin' and I understand
Don't worry, boy, it'll be all right"
'Cause I took this walk you're walkin' now
Boy, I've been in your shoes
But you can't hold back the hands of time
It's just somethin' you've got to do
So dry your eyes, I understand just what you're goin' through
'Cause I took this same walk with my old man
Boy, I've been in your shoes
Yes, I took this walk you're walkin' now
Boy, I've been in your shoes
