After seventeen years behind bars
And lookin back on his mistakes
F BbHe sat down and poured out his heart
G CWhen his son came to see him today
He spoke with a voice that trembled
Dm C BbTryin to hold back the tears
Bb Am GmHe said I ain't been much of a father
Bb C
Son I wish I could turn back the years
Bb
Cause life's like a river
And the water is deep
CCross it with care
FOr you'll end up like me
Let my mistakes
F BbBe your steppin stones
Gm C FAnd walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

He said son stay away from the bottle
Bb FWatch out for the company you keep
F BbAnd hold on to those you love
Cause love is a man's greatest need
Dm C BbThe right way may not be easy
Dm C BbThe right road ain't always straight
Son, please don't follow the footsteps
Bb CThat lead to where I am today
Bb
Cause life's like a river
FAnd the water is deep
Cross it with care
FOr you'll end up like me
Bb CLet my mistakes
Be your steppin stones
Gm C FAnd walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on
