Take a look at my life boy don't turn out like your old man son
Young man sit down the night's not done
Got a story to tell my wandering son
Take your time don't let it slip
Life ain't a race it's a quiet trip
Walk through life don't run
Be that dad to your son that I never was
Take your time don't let it burn
Every step's a lesson every twist a turn
I was 52 when I found my way
Too many nights turned into wasted days
I see my face in the lines of yours
A mirror of the roads and all the doors
listen close boy The choice is yours
Walk through life don't run Be that dad to your son that I never was Take your time don't let it burn
Every step's a lesson every twist a turn
Young man take a look at my life
It's carved in stone but it cuts like a knife
I gave too little I chased too fast
The future's yours to outlast Take your time boy the world won't flee Walk through life don't run you'll see Each step counts more than the last you'll know
The seeds you plant will someday grow
Whiskey breath will choke you slow
Like a river that forgets to flow
Don't let right turns take you wrong
Find your compass stay headstrong
When I was you son I burned too fast
Chased the future forgot the past wisdom whispers in a broken voice Slow down boy you still have choice Look at the stars don't fear their height
The sun still shines through the longest night
Whiskey breath will choke you slow
Like a river that forgets to flow
Don't let right turns take you wrong
Find your compass stay headstrong
Life's a crooked trail with stones
You'll stumble but don't walk alone
Lean on me boy when you're unsure
A father's love will always endure take a look at my life boy don't turn out like your old man father to son the choice is yours
