[00:12.18]After seventeen years behind bars
[00:16.12]
[00:18.18]And lookin' back on his mistakes
[00:21.43]
[00:23.86]He sat down and poured out his heart
[00:27.49]
[00:29.43]When his son came to see him today
[00:32.86]
[00:35.49]He spoke with a voice that trembled
[00:38.93]
[00:41.43]Tryin' to hold back the tears
[00:44.62]
[00:46.62]He said ''I ain't been much of a father
[00:50.43]
[00:52.43]Son I wish I could turn back the years ''
[00:56.43]
[00:58.68]'''Cause life's like a river and the water is deep
[01:02.74]
[01:04.62]Cross it with care or you'll end up like me
[01:09.24]
[01:10.37]Let my mistakes be your steppin' stones
[01:14.43]
[01:20.43]And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on ''
[01:24.93]
[01:35.93]He said ''Son stay away from the bottle
[01:39.93]
[01:42.18]Watch out for the company you keep
[01:45.49]
[01:47.99]And hold on to those you love
[01:51.37]
[01:53.81]'Cause love is a man's greatest need ''
[01:57.12]
[01:59.68]''The right way may not be easy
[02:03.12]
[02:05.56]The right road ain't always straight
[02:08.68]
[02:11.18]Son please don't follow the footsteps
[02:14.43]
[02:17.06]That lead to where I am today ''
[02:19.87]
[02:22.81]'''Cause life's like a river and the water is deep
[02:27.15]
[02:28.78]Cross it with care or you'll end up like me
