IntroVerse 1When I Was YoungerMy Father, He Took Me Aside.He Said, "Son, Life's A BitchBut If You Keep Your HeadYou'll Be Fine.Don't Fear For Your LifeWhen Your Heads By The BarrelOf A GunBut Don't Feel FreeWhen The Rope Round Your Neck'sBeen Undone."Chorus"Don't Follow In My FootstepsThe Path That I've Taken'sA Minefield Of Sorrow And Shame.Make Your Own LuckAnd Don't Worry IfYou Don't Make The Grade;Let Your Heart Lead The Way."Verse 2"Don't Leap Without Looking.Let Sleeping Dogs Lie.Don't Follow The Crowd Like A Sheep;You've Got Your Own Mind.When Lies Cloud Your JudgementDon't Let The TruthOut Of Your Sight.Don't Argue The Toss Over NothingBut Stand For Your Rights."Chorus"Don't Follow In My FootstepsThe Path That I've Taken'sA Minefield Of Sorrow And Shame.Make Your Own LuckAnd Don't Worry IfYou Don't Make The Grade;Let Your Heart Lead The Way."BridgeNow That I'm OlderI've Got My Own SonThere's A Weight On My ShouldersA Job To Be DoneI Don't Have The AnswersI Don't Always Know BestBut The One Thing That I've LearnedIs That Life's Not A Test.ChorusSo Don't Follow In My FootstepsThe Path That I've Taken'sNot PerfectBut Then Nothing IsMake Your Own WayJust Like My FatherMade His.ChorusAnd Don't Worry If Your FootstepsDon't Take You DirectTo The Place That You ThoughtWas Your Goal.There's AlwaysA Road That's Less TravelledThat Still Gets You Home.There's AlwaysA Road That's Less TravelledThat Still Gets You Home.Outro
