Walk Like A Man

I remember how rough your hand felt on mine on my wedding day

And the tears cried on my shoulder i couldn't turn away

Well so much has happened to me that i don't understand

All i can think of is being five years old following behind you at the beach tracing your footprints in the sand

Trying to walk like a man



By our lady of the roses we lived in the shadow of the elms

I remember ma draggin' me and my sister up the street to the church whenever she heard those wedding bells

Well would they ever look so happy again the handsome groom and his bride

As they stepped into that long black limousine for their mystery ride

Well tonight you step away from me and alone at the alter i stand

And as i watch my bride coming down the aisle i pray for the strength to walk like a man



Well now the years have gone and i've grown from that seed you've sown

But i didn't think there'd be so many steps i'd have to learn on my own

Well i was young and i didn't know what to do

When i saw your best steps stolen away from you

Now i'll do what i can

I'll walk like a man

And i'll keep on walkin'
