Walk On The Rocks Lyrics - Everything I Love - Alan Jackson

After seventeen years behind bars 

And lookin' back on his mistakes 

He sat down and poured out his heart 

When his son came to see him today 

He spoke with a voice that trembled 

Tryin' to hold back the tears 

He said I ain't been much of a father 

Son, I wish I could turn back the years 

'Cause life's like a river 

And the water is deep 

Cross it with care 

Or you'll end up like me 

Let my mistakes 

Be your steppin' stones 

And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

He said son stay away from the bottle 

Watch out for the company you keep 

And hold on to those you love 

'Cause love is a man's greatest need 

The right way may not be easy 

The right road ain't always straight 

Son, please don't follow the footsteps 

That lead to where I am today

'Cause life's like a river 

And the water is deep 

Cross it with care 

Or you'll end up like me 

Let my mistakes 

Be your steppin' stones 

And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on 

Walk on the rocks that I stumbled on
