Down our long dusty driveway
I didn't want to go
But I set out with tears in my eyes a wonderin'
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
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 wonderin'
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out at the world and 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
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 gray
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'll be alright"

'Cause I took this walk you're walking now
Boy, I've been in your shoes
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
