Walk A Little Straighter Daddy - Billy Currington

I remember looking up
To look up to him.
And I remember most the time
He wasn't there.
And I'd be waiting at the door
When he got home at night.
He'd pass me by to go pass out in his chair.



And I'd say....
Walk a little straighter Daddy
You're swaying side to side.
Your footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try...
I keep trippin' and stumblin'
If you'd look down here you'd see.
Walk a little straighter Daddy......
You're leading me.

He 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.

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 trippin' and stumblin'
And even though I've turned 18
Walk a little straighter Daddy.....
You're still leading me.

The old man's still like he always was
But I love him anyway
If I've learned one thing from him
It's my kids will never have to say.....

Walk a little straighter Daddy
You're swaying side to side.
Your footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try....
I keep trippin' and stumblin'
If you'd look down here you'd see,
Walk a little straighter Daddy....
You're leading me.

Yea walk a little straighter Daddy......
You're leading me.
