Artist: Sawyer Brown
The Walk
verse 1
D A Bm G
Down our long dusty driveway, I didn't want to go
D G A
But I set out with tears in my eyes a-wondering
D A Bm
Daddy took me by the hand, looked at the school bus
G D A G A
And his little man and said-"Don't worry boy, it will be all right"
CHORUS
G A G A D
Cause I took this walk you're walking now, boy, I've been in your shoes
G A G A
You can't hold back the hands of time, it's just some thing you've gotta do
Em F#m G A
So, dry your eyes, I understand just what you're going through
G A G A D
Cause I took this same walk with my old man, boy, I've been in your shoes
verse 2
Down our long dusty driveway, I set my mind to go
I was 18 and wild and free and a-wandering
Daddy took me by the hand, looked out at the world, and his grown man -
And said,"Don't worry boy, it will be all right"
CHORUS--
verse 3
Down our long dusty driveway, this time we both would go
He had grown old and gray, and his mind was a-wandering
Daddy took me by the hand, and said," I know where we're going & I understand.
Don't worry boy, it will be all right"
CHORUS---
