lyrics

Verse1:
Long ago, when I was young
Daddy working all night long
He got home, kicked off his shoes
And headed straight to bed

I remember slippin’ my little feet
Into Daddy’s shoes, thinkin’ “They’re so big
I wondered how I’d ever fill them up
Or be that strong, be that tough

Chorus:
From baby steps on Daddy’s toes
Two strong hands to help me grow
He watched me stumble
But never let me fall

He showed me how to be a man
To shoulder pain, to take a stand
Looking back
He taught me to stand tall

Yeah, I learned to live,
To always see it through
By walking in Daddy’s shoes

Verse 2:
Now, I’m just a family man
A working guy just like my old man
I served my country when she called
I know just who I am

Looking back I now realize
All the worries that he kept inside
He never faltered, never lost his way
And I’m thankful for him every day

<Repeat Chorus>

Final Chorus:
From baby steps on Daddy’s toes
Two strong hands to help me grow
He watched me stumble
But never let me fall

He showed me how to be a man
To shoulder pain, to take a stand
Looking back
He taught me to stand tall

Yeah, I learned to live,
To always see it through…
And to myself always to be true
Walking in Daddy’s… shoes, yeah

Walking in Daddy’s shoes…
