After seventeen years, behind bars

And looking back on his mistakes

He sat down and poured out, his heart
Em A
When his son came and seen him today
Bm A G
He spoke with a voice, that trembled
Bm A G
Trying to hold back the tears
G F#m Em
He said I ain't been much of a father
G A
Son I wish I could turn back, the years
G D
Cause life's like a river, And the water is deep
A D
Cross it with care, Or you'll end up like me
G A D G (Hold for 4 beats)
Let my mistakes, Be your steppin' stones
Em A D
And walk on the rocks, That I stumbled on
