Walk Like A Man Lyrics - Bon Jovi

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
