 Intro (repeat)

Verse

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 schoolbus and his little man and said,

Don't worry boy, it'll be alright

Chorus

 '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

Verse

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 out at the world and his grown man and said

Don't worry boy, it'll be alright

Chorus

Verse

Down our long dusty driveway, this time we both would go

Well he had grown old and gray, and his mind was a wondering

Daddy took me by the hand, said I know where we're going and I understand

Don't worry boy, it'll be alright

Chorus
