Walk A Little Straighter
Billy Currungton
(Casey Beathard/Carson Chamberlain/Billy Currington)


I remember lookin' up to look up to him
An I remember most the time he wasn't there
I'd be waitin' at the door when he got home at night
He'd pass me by to go pass out in his chair

An I sing walk a little straighter daddy
You're swayin' side by side
Your footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep trippin' an stumblin'
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
An I couldn't help but feel so ashamed
An I wasn't surprised a bit when he didn't stay
He stumbled out before they called my name

An I thought walk a little straighter daddy
Your swayin' side by side
It's not just me who's watching
You've caught everybody's eye
And your trippin' an stumblin'
And even though I've turned eighteen
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're still leading me

The old man'a still like he always was
But I love him anyways
If I've learned one thing from him
It's my kids will never have to sing

Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swayin' side by side
Your footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep trippin' an stumblin'
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
