The walk…

I’ve never heard this song before but it so happened that I stumbled upon it just yesterday and I thought it would be an appropriate song to share with everybody today – Father’s Day…

Down our long dusty driveway, I didn’t want to go
But I set out with tears in my eyes, a-wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out at the school bus and his little man
And said, “Don’t worry, boy! It’ll be all right.”

‘Cause I took this walk you’re walking now, boy
I’ve been in your shoes
Well, you can’t hold back the hands of time
It’s just something you’ve got to do
So dry your eyes, I understand just what you’re going through
Cause I took this same walk with my old man, boy
I’ve been in your shoes

Down our long dusty driveway, I set my mind to go
Well, I was eighteen and wild and free and a-wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked at the world and at his grown man
And said, “Don’t worry, boy. It’ll be all right.”

‘Cause I took this walk you’re walking now, boy,
I’ve been in your shoes
Well, you can’t hold back the hands of time
It’s just something you’ve got to do
So dry your eyes, I understand just what you’re going through
Cause I took this same walk with my old man Boy,
I’ve been in your shoes

Down our long dusty driveway, this time we both would go
Well, he had grown old and grey and his mind was a-wandering
Daddy took me by the hand
Said, “I know where we’re going and I understand
Don’t worry, boy. It will be all right”

‘Cause I took this walk you’re walking now, boy
I’ve been in your shoes
Well, you can’t hold back the hands of time
It’s just something you’ve got to do
So dry your eyes, I understand just what you’re going through
Cause I took this same walk with my old man, boy
I’ve been in your shoes.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all fathers out there.
