Gary Clements - My Father's Shoes Lyrics

When I was a boy I wore my father's shoes
But they were just too big for a child in his two's
I was his shadow he was the world to me
And he was everything that I wanted to be
Yeah, yeah na na na na
Yeah, yeah na na na na
Then I became a trouble boy
Didn't care too much for rules
I took a lot of chances, I was such a fool
But he still had my back, no matter what I'd done
Because in spite of everything I was my father's son

Said goodbye to younger days
And all my wreckless ways
Win or lose it's the road I had to choose
Runnin' down the highway of life
Or rollin' on the edge of a knife
Step by step in my father's shoes yeah yeah yeah yeah

Doin' the right thing was hard to comprehend
All the bridges I had burned all the fences that I couldn't mend
And all the crap I put him through
And all the senseless fights
Well here's to all the times he tried
His best to set me right

Said goodbye to younger days
And all my wreckless ways
Win or lose it's the road I had to choose
Runnin' down the highway of life
Or rollin' on the edge of a knife
Step by step in my father's shoes
Step by step in my father's shoes yeah

I wasn't there that night when he passed away
All the things I wanted to tell him
I didn't get the chance to say
About how he spent his life tryin' to make me understand
But he made damn sure that I knew
What it means to be a man yeah

Said goodbye to younger days
And all my wreckless ways
Win or lose it's the road I had to choose
Runnin' down the highway of life
Or rollin' on the edge of a knife
Step by step in my father's shoes
Well I said goodbye to younger days
And all my wreckless ways
Win or lose it's the road I had to choose
Oh runnin' down the highway of life
Or rollin' on the edge of a knife
Oo step by step in my father's shoes
Yeah step by step in my father's shoes
Woah step by step in my father's shoes
Na na na na na mmmm na na na na na
