[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 1]
Hey, little man, understand
Your 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 this 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
[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
But hey little man, now, you take my hand
Walk a little ways 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

[Bridge]
And you've got your own life to live, it's true
And I want the best in this life for you
There are things I could help you through, if you want me to
But if I know you, you won't ask me to
That's okay, though

[Verse 5]
Yeah, hey, little man, you're quite 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
