| [00:05.13] |
in the fights they had he'd cover up his ears |
| [00:08.93] |
thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears |
| [00:13.43] |
mama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face |
| [00:20.51] |
in the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace |
| [00:28.30] |
his old man woke him up to help him find the car |
| [00:32.43] |
take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar |
| [00:37.23] |
and swore that he was quittin |
| [00:39.57] |
and then he'd start to cry |
| [00:43.93] |
and though the boy knew the truth |
| [00:48.62] |
sometimes he'd still believe that lie |
| [00:50.99] |
|
| [00:51.24] |
when the sins of the father are the sins of the son |
| [00:55.75] |
all you do is crawl when you wanna run |
| [00:59.59] |
and god gave boys their mamas cause |
| [01:01.71] |
they always see their promise |
| [01:03.17] |
and they help them understand |
| [01:09.21] |
how to walk like a man |
| [01:17.27] |
walk like a man |
| [01:23.85] |
|
| [01:26.64] |
they moved a lot of places, they never settled down |
| [01:30.58] |
it got pretty old being the new kid in town |
| [01:34.56] |
he always told his friends, my daddy's sick today |
| [01:41.50] |
said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say |
| [01:49.93] |
the sins of the father are the sins of the son |
| [01:53.85] |
crawl before you walk, boy |
| [01:57.34] |
walk before you run |
| [01:57.91] |
come on, stand up straight, i'm proud of you |
| [02:01.16] |
take my hand |
| [02:03.91] |
i know you can |
| [02:07.82] |
walk like a man |
| [02:15.32] |
walk like a man |
| [02:24.78] |
your daddy's demons are callin' your name |
| [02:31.10] |
don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim |
| [02:38.29] |
temptations may come, that ain't no sin |
| [02:44.94] |
you get stronger every time that you don't give in |
| [02:50.32] |
|
| [02:51.89] |
the sins of the father are the sins of the son |
| [02:55.72] |
you can't undo what has been done |
| [02:59.52] |
you'll have to retrace his footsteps |
| [03:02.82] |
through the sand |
| [03:07.16] |
and pray you find the love of a girl |
| [03:11.18] |
and take her by the hand |
| [03:14.98] |
and walk on |
| [03:19.86] |
walk like a man |
| [00:00.05] |
