Jerry Jeff Walker - Little Man Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



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
