Lyrics:

I remember looking up To look up to him And I remember most the time He wasn't there I'd be waiting at the door When he got home at night He'd pass me by to go to pass out in his chair And I'd say Walk a little straighter daddy You're swaying side to side You're footsteps make me dizzy And no matter how I try I keep tripping and stumbling 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 tripping and stumbling and even though I've turned 18 Walk a little straighter daddy You're still leading me The old mans still like he always was But I love him anyway If I've learned one thing from him Its my kids will never have to say Walk a little straighter daddy You're swaying side to side You're footsteps make me dizzy And no matter how I try I keep tripping and stumbling if you'd look down here you'd see Walk a little straighter daddy You're leading me Yeah walk a little straighter daddy You're leading me
