Intro: F Bb F Bb

F Bb

After seventeen years behind bars

Bb F

And lookin back on his mistakes

F Bb

He sat down and poured out his heart

G C

When his son came to see him today

Dm C Bb

He spoke with a voice that trembled

Dm C Bb

Tryin to hold back the tears

Bb Am Gm

He 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

F

And the water is deep

C

Cross it with care

F

Or you'll end up like me

Bb C

Let my mistakes

F Bb

Be your steppin stones

Gm C F

And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

F Bb

He said son stay away from the bottle

Bb F

Watch out for the company you keep

F Bb

And hold on to those you love

G C

Cause love is a man's greatest need

Dm C Bb

The right way may not be easy

Dm C Bb

The right road ain't always straight

Bb Am Gm

Son, please don't follow the footsteps

Bb C

That lead to where I am today

Bb

Cause life's like a river

F

And the water is deep

C

Cross it with care

F

Or you'll end up like me

Bb C

Let my mistakes

Be your steppin stones

And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on
