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 F Bb
[piano + violin]
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
F Bb
Be your steppin stones
Gm C F
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on
Bb C F Bb
[Piano + Violin]
Gm C F
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on
F Bb F Bb F
[Piano + Violin]
