I remember lookin' up
to him.
And I remember most
of the time he wasn't there

I'd be wait ing at the door
when he 'd come home at night
He'd pass me by to go pass out
in his chair and I'd say:

walk alittle straighter daddy your swaying Side
to side your footsteps make me dizzy
and no matter how I've tried I keep
trippin' and stumbling you look down here
you see.
yeah walk a little straighter daddy
your leading me

Her stumbled into gym on graduation day
and i couldn't help but feel so ashamed
and iwasn't he didn't6 stay he stumbled out
before they called my name and I thought:

walk alittle straighter daddy your swaying Side
To side its not just me who's watching you've
caught everybody's eye and your trippin' and
stumblin' even though I've turned 18 yeah
walk a little straighter daddy your still leading me

the old man stood like he always was but I love him anyway
if I've learned 1 thing from him its my kids will never have to say:

walk alittle straighter daddy your swaying Side
to side your footsteps make me dizzy
and no matter how I've tried I keep
trippin' and stumbling you look down here
you see.
yeah walk a little straighter daddy
your leading me

Yeah walk a little straighter daddy your leading me
