Bon Jovi - Walk Like A Man

Artist: Bon Jovi Album: Lost Highway* (2007) Lyrics: (Jon Bon Jovi/Richie Sambora) He said sit down son, we’ve gotta talk I said “it’s my life, I’m gonna do what I want I’m not gonna crawl, I’m gonna walk Walk right out that door“ He said “I used to be a lot like you There’s nothing you’ve done that I didn’t do“ I left and said “Dad I’m bulletproof We’ve been through this before“ I couldn’t believe it There was a tear in my old man’s eye When I was leaving He tried to say goodbye He said stand tall when you stumble Stay proud when you’re humbled The lessons you learn Won’t be the ones that you plan And every step up that mountain Will be more than worth countin’ And when you walk through the valley May you walk like a man And now I’ve seen a couple miles on a gravel road Been taught a couple things that I didn’t know And yeah, I’ve even got a kid of my own Starting to sound a lot like me I learned a little thing called sacrifice Givin’ up on dreams, lost a couple fights All anybody wants is a better life And something to believe Stand tall when you stumble Stay proud when you’re humbled All the lessons you learn Won’t be the ones that you plan Every step up that mountain Will be more that worth countin’ When you walk through the valley May you walk like a man I couldn’t believe it When the tears came to my eyes It isn’t easy Standing on the other side I said “Sit down son we gotta talk Hey it’s your life, you’re gonna do what you want I won’t say crawl before you walk“ Cause I heard my old man in my mind sayin’ Stand tall when you stumble Stay proud when you’re humbled All the lessons you learn Won’t be the ones that you plan And every step up that mountain Will be more that worth countin’ And when you walk through the valley May you walk like a man And when you go on without me Walk, like a man Walk on *as bonus-track
