ALAN JACKSON - Walk On The Rocks lyrics

rate me

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