-- OR -- 
I remember looking up ... to look up to him
And I remember most the time he wasn't there
I'd be waiting at the door ... when he got home at night
He'd pass me by to go pass out in his chair
And I'd say ... walk a little straiter daddy
You're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy and no ... matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling If you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straiter daddy ... you're leading me
He stumbled in the gym ... on graduation day
And I couldn't help but feel ... so ashamed
And I wasn't surprised a bit .... when he didn't stay
He stumbled out before they called my name
And I thought ... walk a little straiter daddy
You're swaying side to side
Its not just me whos watching you caught ... everybodys eye
And your tripping and stumbling and even tho I turned 18
Walk a little straiter daddy ... you're leading me
The old mans still like he always was but I .... love him anyway
If I've learned one thing from him its my kids will never ... have to say
Walk a little straiter daddy ... you're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy and no matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling if you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straiter daddy ... you're leading me
Yeah walk a little straiter daddy ... you're leading me
