Walking in My Father's Shoes.
(Craig Morgan/Jeff Knight)
He made it to every ball game
Unless he just had to go to work
He always said a man's got to juggle his time and his money
And he's got to know, what each one is worth
He taught me so many things
Even when he wasn't trying to
And when I'm in a situation I can't figure out
I just ask myself what would he do
I'm walking in my father's shoes
He's never let me down
That's a lot to live up to
Stumbling falling
Tryin' to stand tall in
Walking in my father's shoes
I'm balancing my checkbook, balancing my life
Chasing down a dollar, trying to buy some time
I jump out in the fast lane, sometimes I risk it all
Running myself right down to a crawl
Then I get up on Sunday morning
And get down on my knees
I always feel that he's right there listening
Giving me direction and giving me strength
I'm walking in my father's shoes
He's never let me down
That's a lot to live up to
Stumbling falling
Tryin' to stand tall in
Walking in my father's shoes
Yes I'm stumbling and falling
Trying to stand tall in
Walking in my father's shoes

Come big brother take my hand
for one last walk across this land
Lets sit on the rocks dangle our feet
and talk about when next we'll meet
There’ll be no more pain no more fear
I see the angels standing near
Come big brother give me a kiss
and know you I’ll dearly miss
So close your eyes take your rest
find your place among the best
