Lyrics Walk on the Rocks(John E. Swaim)
After seventeen years behind bars And lookin' back on his mistakes He sat down and poured out his heart When his son came to see him today.
He spoke with a voice that trembled Tryin' to hold back the tears He said, ''I ain't been much of a father Son, I wish I could turn back the years.''
'''Cause life's like a river and the water is deep Cross it with care or you'll end up like me Let my mistakes be your steppin' stones And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on.''
He said, ''Son stay away from the bottle Watch out for the company you keep And hold on to those you love 'Cause love is a man's greatest need.''
''The right way may not be easy The right road ain't always straight Son, please don't follow the footsteps That lead to where I am today.''
'''Cause life's like a river and the water is deep Cross it with care or you'll end up like me Let my mistakes be your steppin' stones And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on.''
''Walk on the rocks that I stumbled on...'' |
