Walk on the Rocks Lyrics

By: Alan Jackson
(Capo at 3rd fret)
Intro: D - D - G - D - D
After seventeen years, behind bars
And looking back on his mistakes
He sat down and poured out, his heart
When his son came and seen him today
He spoke with a voice, that trembled
Trying 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
G A D G (Hold for 4 beats)
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 leads to where I am today
Repeat Chorus:
G - A - D - G (Hold for 4 beats)
Tag: And walk on the rocks, That I stumbled on
Outro: D - D - G - D - D - G - D
