Down our long dusty driveway I didn't want to go But I set out with tears in my eyes wonderin` Daddy took me by the hand Looked down at the school bus and his little man and said, "Don't worry boy it will be all right" [Chorus] 'Cause I took this walk your walking now Boy, I've been in your shoes You can't hold back the hands of time It's just something you've got to do So dry eyes I understand just what you're goin` through 'Cause I took this same walk with my old man Boy, I've been in your shoes Down our long dusty driveway I set my mind to go 'Cause I was eighteen and wild and free and wonderin` Daddy took me by the hand Look out at the world and his grown man and said, "Don't worry boy it will be all right" [Chorus] Down our long dusty driveway This time we both would go Well he had grown old and gray And his mind was a wandering Daddy took me by the hand Said I know where we're going And I understand Don't worry boy it'll be alright. [Chorus]
