Bon Jovi Walk Like A Man Lyrics

Walk Like A Man Lyrics

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
pround 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 pround 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 pround 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
