walk a little straighter

Do you see what you do
The person your hurting isnt only you
My son follows these footprints
Walks in your shoes
I see him stumble and fall
And you do to
You lead by example
A choice that wasnt really yours to make
Walk a little straighter
He looks up to you
Stop stuttering
can you keep a promise
Here it is again
Your next beer
You dont care about the pain or the tears
A swig left
Dont touch your drink
Take it away
you will have three more
To the point I dont know what the use of fighting is for anymore
Take a drink you will just intoxicate yourself more
Im over my limit ive been pushed far enough
Walk a little straighter
Or theres the door
Its not just me who is watching anymore
