Sawyer Brown - The Walk Lyrics






Down our long dusty driveway
I didn't want to go
But I set out with tears in my eyes wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out 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 you're 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 your eyes I understand just what you're going 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
I was eighteen and wild and free and wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked at the world and at his grown man and said,
"Don't worry boy it will be all right"

Down our long dusty driveway
This time we both would go
He had grown old and gray
And his mind was wandering
Daddy took me by the hand
Said, "I know where we're going and I understand
Don't worry boy it will be all right"

[CHORUS]

  1. J.... A....

    Sad to say my whole life I never told the time to understand this song and appreciate this great song I finally understand it now that I’m older and went through it and can’t help but tear up because my dad showed me this song now that he’s gone it hurts to admit that I’m living this now. Rest easy pops I love and miss you

    Not much for country but this was a good one 👍👍 great job

  7. K.... B....

    I have been listening to this song for a few weeks and have been trying to decide how to respond to such an emotional song, I herd this song growing up, and yet i heard it again since i became a father; it makes me so sad, so sad I actually "get it now" about how time with loved ones is soooo precious...… God Bless!!!

  8. C.... R....

    Still listening 2020 love older country and Sawyer brown

  9. J.... A....

  15. t.... ....

    Don’t worry boy it’ll be alright

  16. t.... ....

    Sawyer is my fav singer. A true legend. When my best friend died daddy lived this song. He was by my side and continued to be there.

  17. m.... s....

    They don't make music like this anymore!💜🎶

  18. J.... P....

    Came here because I was thinking of my Dad. I miss you with all my heart. Thanks for all the lessons you taught me. RIP.

    J.... P....

    An it still hurts....

  19. b.... m....

    My dad told me this so many times. But I was young and dumb. Now at 60 I understand .

  20. c.... ....

    I had to take that walk; life is much harder than they tell you. But don’t tell the younger folks, they won’t believe you.

  21. J.... S....

    I love you daddy I will you an mom when y'all leave I ain't going to know what I'm do 😭

  22. K.... G....

    dont have a great relationship with my dad, but he was a really good dad! here's to that

  23. S.... L....

    I miss you so much daddy!! RIP I do have an 11 year old son now that I adore!!

  24. J.... T....

    I may not be a boy but I am his daughter me and my dad are so close I could never imagine losing my dad idk what I’d do without him

  25. c.... e....

  27. c.... m....

    I love my dad don't matter what a hard working man done the best he could for he's 7 children that's what you call a real man

  28. R.... C....

    2020 and still listening to 90's country.

    R.... C....

    90s and back country is the only country worth listening to.. new stuff is pop/ rap going to see Sawyer in marion il march 13th

  29. F.... M....

    Hell, my daddy never told me shit like this. He just look at me and said "what do you want me to do about it?" LOL Sawyer Brown was a pussy compared to me and my generation. We didn't dare tell our dads that we were "skeered". No fucking way. In the South, you either grew your own pair or got the fuck out. It was just that simple. I joined the US Navy at 17 and never looked back. That's the way we did back then. Y'all need to grow up.

  30. j.... d....

    I love my Son and I love my Dad!

  31. J.... j....

    I Love You Daddy

  32. M.... W....

    I hope my son will always know how much I love him !!!

  33. t.... m....

    I miss my dad RIP 02/11/19

  34. S.... B....

    Okay it's when he goes to school then to the military? Then when his dad mine starts to go.

  35. L.... S....

    My dad is still alive but i have taking many walks with him love ya dad

  36. C.... L....

    May everyone going threw a hard time find piece and comfort. And always remember that things do get better and easier in time. Just know that someone out there loves you more than anything even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes.❤️😉

  37. j.... ....

    They don’t make quality music like this anymore. It’s really sad.

  38. m.... b....

    Some songs there r no words to express one's feelings....so I will simply leave a 😂

  39. J.... 3....

    If you don't understand what I'm talking about then you can fuck off to you don't know country

  40. J.... 3....

    Damn dude why can't you write your own shit quit skimming off other artists fuck off

  41. D.... S....

    As a single parent of little girl this hits hard I do anything for her

  42. f.... a....

    Heres to you dad love you 12/7/2019 rest in piece

  43. R.... C....

    I a. Love listening to the MUSICIANS of years ago.

  44. F.... M....

    Conway Twitty did this song many, many years ago. And better.

  45. j.... d....

    I have a son who is 30 and a father who is almost 70. This song has always held a special place in my heart for both of them!

  46. L.... A....

    Great memories of times of the past.

  47. M.... B....

    My dad is a hardass...a tough son of a bitch...but..I wouldn't take him any other way. He's Dad. He's taught me alot about life and how to be a man. Love you Dad.

  48. B.... H....

    Awesome song and I think you did a great job on the video

  49. C.... L....

    Who else cried like a baby while listening

    C.... L....

    Listen to Conway Twitty's "That's My Job" - that song is WAY better than this one, and will definitely make you cry. This song is weak compared to that one. Same topic, much better execution and delivery.

    C.... L....

    FooBar Maximus thanks

    C.... L....

    FooBar Maximus I have that song already and yes it’s definitely better

  50. G.... Y....

    Back when country had a meaning and story behind every song. Now adays it's all repetitive with the same things. Smh

  51. w.... S....

    yeah this song touches a lot of memories good and bad..

  52. R.... R....

    It's as good now as it was then

  53. b.... 3....

    This song is a reflection of me!! I’m taking this walk...

  54. J.... T....

    This song makes me look at my boys and think of my pap.

  55. K.... S....

    looks like some anti family, pro abortion democrats didnt like this video. i wonder why?

  56. S.... x....

    Mark Miller

  57. D.... M....

    Daddy has been gone over 20 years... I hear this song it tears me up ...inside this grown man a little boy cry’s for his daddy

  58. F.... R....

    2019 anyone listening?

    F.... R....

    Don't ruin it with politics, bro

    F.... R....

    It’s nearly 2020 and I’m still listening loud and clear Frank! And I believe anyone whose ever had a son would heed these lyrics and contemplate how they would approach tough moments when their children are faced with adversity. Thanks for antagonizing the crowd with this post!

    F.... R....

    the sign on the mail box, was my fathers name! Yes, i will never forget this song!

    F.... R....

    Yes, marketing company. Someone is still listening. Thanks for bumping the comments.

    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

    "Don't worry boy it will be all right"

    'Cause I took this walk your walking now
    Boy, I've been in your shoes

  83. J.... Y....

    Hello living the time so good day for love of life Beautiful love hello

  84. K.... D....

    I cant listen to this without tears I'm a 36 year old man I sure do love my dad

  85. K.... H....

    If you substituted my mom for "my old man" it would sum up my life perfectly in a song. School needs no intro, at 18 it was the USMC for eight years and a war in 1991 and now I call her every day. She's 76 years old and I know we are taking that final walk. Her mom died in 1987 so she took that walk too.


    Life's a kick in the quad, then you roll over, puke, and die. There ain't no pretty way out...

  86. R.... G....

    Beautiful love it 2019

  87. J.... H....

    One of the best ... if u truly listen to the words ....

  88. R.... T....

    I never got to take that walk with my old man but my kids yook that walk with there old man i lovr all 3 of them and there mother

  89. B.... W....

    I cry every time I hear this I miss my dad so much

  90. J.... A....

    this song sounds like something my father would say

    J.... A....

    I'm close to a millionaire and would give it all up to say what you said.... dont take it for granted!

  91. j.... i....

    When I bring you to the bus stop I always remember how it seemed like yesterday when I once was young getting on a bus, and now its you son, I look at you and see me and its so strange how now I'm a father looking down at you and wondering what will life bring for you I pray its better for you I'm trying and know that I will always be your best friend I love you ethin, now its your walk...I've been in your shoes

  92. J.... L....

    Being 30 years old I cry every time I see this , I’ve had the best father anyone could ask for growing up and I followed in his footsteps my whole life. I became a 3rd generation Journeyman Lineman because of him. He’s helped me more than any one in the world could imagine. I love you Dad.

  93. N.... M....
