Don't Look The Other Way lyrics

I remember dad and I | Stopped the car one rainy night | To help a stranger fix a flat | And get on his way | And I said | Daddy do you know that man | Was he one of your friends | And he just smiled | Said let me help you understand | Son don't look the other way | When you can help someone in need | The good lord gave you eyes | Don't pretend that you can't see | That might be you someday | So don't look the other way | Through the wind and pouring rain | As we drove away | My dad he sat there soaking wet | With a smile on his face | And I knew | Though I was just a kid | I'd always remember what he did | When rain drops fell | His words would fill my mind again | Son don't look the other way | When you can help someone in need | The good lord gave you eyes | Don't pretend that you can't see | That might be you someday | So don't look the other way | And now many years have come and gone | Daddy's barely hanging on | If I turn my back | I won't have to see it end like that | But I don't look the other way | When I can help someone in need | The good lord gave me eyes for a reason | That might be me someday | I won't look the other way
