1
Walk tall...
2
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
3
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
4
She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
5
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
6
All through the years that I grew up, ma taught these things to me
7
But I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see
8
I ignored the things she said as if I'd never heard
9
Now I see and understand the wisdom of her words
10
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
11
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
12
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
13
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
14
I started goin' places where the youngsters shouldn't go
15
I got to know the kind of girls it's better not to know
16
I fell in with a bad crowd and laughed and drank with them
17
Through the laughter mama's words would echo now and then
18
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
19
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
20
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
21
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
22
I got in trouble with the law and I'm in prison now
23
Through these prison bars I see things so much different now
24
I've got one year left to serve and when my time is done
25
I'll walk tall and straight and make ma proud to call me son
26
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
27
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
28
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
29
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
30
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in
