Walk Tall (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
Daddy gave me a baseball bat
Little league, NASCAR, all of that
Wouldn't let me fall far from that tree
But everything I ever wanted
Was in the back of mama's closet
And when they weren't looking, that's where I'd be

[Pre-Chorus]
And no, they didn't understand
I was always gonna be my own kind of man

[Chorus]
You gotta carry on
You gotta find your own way
You don't know the strength that you're made of
When they say you're wrong
You just stand up straight
And if the world tries to make you feel small

[Post-Chorus]
You gotta walk tall
Mm-mm, walk tall

[Verse 2]
Never thought that I was smarter
Than anyone back in that old holler
But I knew enough to know what was wrong or right
Folks think that I've been falling
Turned my back, ignored my calling
But I just went out looking for a better life

[Pre-Chorus]
And, no, I didn't understand
That I'd become the woman that I am

[Chorus]
Well, you gotta carry on
You gotta find your own way
You don't know the strength that you're made of
When they say you're wrong
You just stand up straight
And if the world tries to make you feel small
You gotta walk tall

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, walk tall
You gotta walk tall
Yeah, walk tall

[Bridge]
You gotta carry on
You gotta find your own way
You don't know the strength that you're made of
When they say you're wrong
You just stand up straight
And if the world tries to make you feel small
And this world will try to make you feel so small

[Outro]
So put your heels on
And walk tall
