Jerry Jeff Walker: Little man

Sometimes out here on this road Too late to call I see the telephone My mind's a line running straight for home And I can see her lying soft and warm Chorus: She knows her daddy sings We know all that the money brings Hey little man, you're quite a man, You make me smile when no one can And days when I don't give a damn, You come and you take my hand And we go walking a long, long ways, seeing what we'll see Doin' things that can make me smile, When you do things that remind me of me Hey, little man, Understand you're daddy ain't nothing but a guitar man Living his life the best he can, Til you came I hadn't a plan But I've been walking a long, long ways And there are things I have seen I learned things that might help you, Son, when you do things that remind me of me Bridge: And you've got your own life to live, it's true And I want the best in life for you There are heartaches I could help you through, if you want me to But if I know you, you won't ask me to Hey little man, you got to take a stand, Make up your mind to be all you can Have a lot of pride and remember That you're the son of a gypsy songman When you're walking your long, long way seeing what you'll see Looking back won't you tip your hat, When you do things that remind you of me But hey little man, now, you take my hand, Walk a little way with your old man It won't be long before you lead a band And I'm just one of your fans And when you're walking a long, long way Seein' what you'll see Remember people will smile sometimes When you do things that remind them of me Does she know, she's the precious thing You and I now we've had our ups and downs Drove our love nearly out of bounds Can't go back to a lot of towns We were doing what was going round Chorus Two adults lost in a world alone Take a little love and make a happy home The little hands brush your wavy hair And say goodbye and leave you standing there Chorus
