This song is for my father who I watched take his last breath on 12/9/10. I held his hand and told him it was ok to go. Hardest thing I've ever had to do. He was not only my father, he was also my hero. On that very same day, I found out my wife was pregnant. I eventually had a son. This song means more to me than most will ever know.
John. That was the most beautiful tribute to your Dad. The way you walk this earth is a testament to his greatness as a parent. God bless you and your family.
John a mi tambien se me fue mi padre, y fue el 15/11/10 y tambien fue mi heroe.....que tarde nos damos cuenta de eso! un saludo desde Argentina! gloria para Bon Jovi que tambien expresa nuestros sentimientos!
John Ciappi ❤️ I lost my lovely dad on 2nd February this year I was holding hand and telling him it was all ok as well .I was lucky my dad saw his grandsons grow up and met his great granddaughter she was 5 when he died .This song has made me cry it is beautiful . Stay safe in these weird times of lockdown and all the other crap that’s happening 💔❤️
Can someone explain me why the hell this song didn't make it into the Lost Highway album?? I can¡t believe it!! That's one good thing about Bon Jovi, when you think you've heard everything from them you look at the outtakes or the b-sides and find something like this... priceless!!
I' m from Belgium. I have that cd and this song isn't on it. I heard it a few weeks for the first time. I like it and I think it's shame that I didn't hear this earlier.
I learned a little thing called sacrifice Givin' up on dreams, lost a couple fights All anybody wants is a better life And something to believe.. Jon is an amazing songwriter...
man this song is powerful, very very powerful, it got to me. This guys can play anythingg! Lost Highway got to me, every single lyric on that album caught me good
Since this song was a bonus track on Lost Highway ('Target exclusive' version), it probably won't be another album. I quess it should have been on all versions of LH, since it is awesome like so may other bonus tracks, B-sides and unreleased songs.
The hymn to the Bruised, the Battered, the Broken... Heard this for the first time last night December 14 2023 Stand tall when you stumble Stay proud when you're humbled When you walk through the Valley, WALK LIKE A MAN
You just can not dislike this!! It's such a great song and it has the most amazng lyrics! Today's my father's birthday, and though he ain't a Bon Jovi fan I'm gonna dedicate him this song.
He really changed for the worse when he was bout 50 years old bout the time when Richie left the band. they were intimate brothers and band mates as well as song wring team spending so much time with each other for thirty years. this song is so powerful.
Canção maravilhosa não entendo porquê não entrou no álbum e não virou Singles iria alavancar ainda maís a honra do bom Jovi guitarras bem elaborado ❤❤❤
@MsBonjovimaniac It was written by Jon after both Richie's and Davids father passed away. As said before it was a bonus on the "Target exclusive" edition of Lost Highway. I bought mine on Ebay, it may be worth to try it there.
Lyric He said sit down son, we've gotta talk I said "it's my life, I'm gonna do what I want I'm not gonna crawl, I'm gonna walk Walk right out that door" He said "I used to be a lot like you There's nothing you've done that I didn't do" I left and said "Dad I'm bulletproof We've been through this before" I couldn't believe it There was a tear in my old man's eye When I was leaving He tried to say goodbye He said stand tall when you stumble Stay pround when you're humbled The lessons you learn Won't be the ones that you plan And every step up that mountain Will be more than worth countin' And when you walk through the valley May you walk like a man And now I've seen a couple miles on a gravel road Been taught a couple things that I didn't know And yeah, I've even got a kid of my own Starting to sound a lot like me I learned a little thing called sacrifice Givin' up on dreams, lost a couple fights All anybody wants is a better life And something to believe Stand tall when you stumble Stay pround when you're humbled All the lessons you learn Won't be the ones that you plan Every step up that mountain Will be more that worth countin' When you walk through the valley May you walk like a man I couldn't believe it When the tears came to my eyes It isn't easy Standing on the other side I said "Sit down son we gotta talk Hey it's your life, you're gonna do what you want I won't say crawl before you walk" Cause I heard my old man in my mind sayin' Stand tall when you stumble Stay pround when you're humbled All the lessons you learn Won't be the ones that you plan And every step up that mountain Will be more that worth countin' And when you walk through the valley May you walk like a man And when you go on without me Walk, like a man Walk on
this is an amazing song.would have been perfect on the album. if it is a tribute to richie dad ii makes it an more powerful song about love,frindship and the relationshio between a father and a son.
I have noticed lately a lot of the songs i've heard that didn't quite make certain albums seem to be better than most songs that particular album had on it.
Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora together make one of the best songwriting duos in music history.
Can't believe that this song served just as bonus track. Deserves to be a single and to be performed live.
Maybe not a single, but definitely better than 3 or 4 songs per record since 2000.
One of the biggest hidden gems the band has ever written❤️
This song is for my father who I watched take his last breath on 12/9/10. I held his hand and told him it was ok to go. Hardest thing I've ever had to do. He was not only my father, he was also my hero. On that very same day, I found out my wife was pregnant. I eventually had a son. This song means more to me than most will ever know.
8 years dad. Can't believe it. I'd give a year of my life just to let you have one day with the grandkids you never met. Miss you
John. That was the most beautiful tribute to your Dad. The way you walk this earth is a testament to his greatness as a parent. God bless you and your family.

Your comment makes me tear up because this same experience happened to me also. This song means so much to me!

Sambora's solo at the end of the song was priceless...
I' m from Belgium. I have that cd and this song isn't on it. I heard it a few weeks for the first time. I like it and I think it's shame that I didn't hear this earlier.
The solos at the end of the song...EPIC..
masterpiece...
Haven't heard this in sooo long, up there in Bon Jovi's best tracks ever
Between "keep the faith", "these days" and "lost highway" are the three best Jovi albums ever made.
Barry Mezey lost highway one of the worse albums they have ever done comes nowhere close to slippery and jersey imo
this song is so amazing, deserves more than to be just a bonus trak
For me the best song from the Lost Highway era, a shame it wasn't on the album's tracklist!!!
there is a lot of truth to this song. this is one that should be listened to carefully and paid attention to.
Everything Jon sings always amazes me. One of my favorite songs
Jon certainly has grown into a wonderful man! Love him!!!
I learned a little thing called sacrifice
Givin' up on dreams, lost a couple fights
All anybody wants is a better life
And something to believe..
Jon is an amazing songwriter...
Classic Bon Jovi...!
My favorite song! I cry every time I hear it
Every song of Bon Jovi is perfect! I love them and I will always do the same!!!
I absolutely love this song so much one of the best bon jovi songs!
that song is so great it brings me tears...it´s so beautiful, that jon do that for richie and his dead R.I.P.
Nice
i wish this song wasnt a bonus track
hope to listen to it live some day
love it!
WOW, this song hits me hard my dad always taught us to be strong but be respectful... I miss u dad & Lil Bro, till we meet again... RIP
man this song is powerful, very very powerful, it got to me. This guys can play anythingg! Lost Highway got to me, every single lyric on that album caught me good
I don't get those boys sometimes... some of their best songs never make the albums...??? I have no clue why this song didn't make it... it's great!
Since this song was a bonus track on Lost Highway ('Target exclusive' version), it probably won't be another album.
I quess it should have been on all versions of LH, since it is awesome like so may other bonus tracks, B-sides and unreleased songs.
Beautiful song..
There's that beautiful voice again. loving him more every day.
That song is so true and the lyrics are amazing Bon Jovi song just keep getting betterrr ROCK ON you guys
love all the music of bonjovi been a big fan sense 1986
The hymn to the Bruised, the Battered, the Broken...
Heard this for the first time last night December 14 2023
Stand tall when you stumble
Stay proud when you're humbled
When you walk through the Valley,
WALK LIKE A MAN
Splendida canzone!
Forse la più bella di Lost Highway..
Peccato non fosse tra le tracce ufficiali!
I think this is the best BJ song .. LYrics are awesome
if this had been released to country radio, we'd have a top 10 hit.
Minha banda favorita linda musica perfeita desde 1984 quando eu tinha 14 anos de idade já curtia bon Jovi e sempre vou curtir bon Jovi para sempre
You just can not dislike this!! It's such a great song and it has the most amazng lyrics! Today's my father's birthday, and though he ain't a Bon Jovi fan I'm gonna dedicate him this song.

Can't believe this song didn't make the album - it deserved to!
omg ...How awesome could me this band!!!!!!

Canção maravilhosa não entendo porquê não entrou no álbum e não virou Singles iria alavancar ainda maís a honra do bom Jovi guitarras bem elaborado ❤❤❤
It doesn't matter if it sounds too country - the message is the most important.
Hope they'll release another cd packed with demos just like 100.000.000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong!
cel mai tare..:)
I think this song needs to find it's way on to a movie soundtrack.
Awesome song!!!!!

Love that man💞💞💞💞
Lyric
He said sit down son, we've gotta talk
I said "it's my life, I'm gonna do what I want
I'm not gonna crawl, I'm gonna walk
Walk right out that door"
He said "I used to be a lot like you
There's nothing you've done that I didn't do"
I left and said "Dad I'm bulletproof
We've been through this before"
I couldn't believe it
There was a tear in my old man's eye
When I was leaving
He tried to say goodbye
He said stand tall when you stumble
Stay pround when you're humbled
The lessons you learn
Won't be the ones that you plan
And every step up that mountain
Will be more than worth countin'
And when you walk through the valley
May you walk like a man
And now I've seen a couple miles on a gravel road
Been taught a couple things that I didn't know
And yeah, I've even got a kid of my own
Starting to sound a lot like me
I learned a little thing called sacrifice
Givin' up on dreams, lost a couple fights
All anybody wants is a better life
And something to believe
Stand tall when you stumble
Stay pround when you're humbled
All the lessons you learn
Won't be the ones that you plan
Every step up that mountain
Will be more that worth countin'
When you walk through the valley
May you walk like a man
I couldn't believe it
When the tears came to my eyes
It isn't easy
Standing on the other side
I said "Sit down son we gotta talk
Hey it's your life, you're gonna do what you want
I won't say crawl before you walk"
Cause I heard my old man in my mind sayin'
Stand tall when you stumble
Stay pround when you're humbled
All the lessons you learn
Won't be the ones that you plan
And every step up that mountain
Will be more that worth countin'
And when you walk through the valley
May you walk like a man
And when you go on without me
Walk, like a man
Walk on
Great vid my friend. Keep it up!! Thnx for sharing.
Eres el mejor y lo seras x siempre bon❤❤❤❤
this is an amazing song.would have been perfect on the album. if it is a tribute to richie dad ii makes it an more powerful song about love,frindship and the relationshio between a father and a son.
this is a hit song ! what was bj thinking! live this would of been huge!
Oh!!! It's great!!! I love that video!!!
yeah, I love bon jovi and Richie too xD
Great song. Some parts remind me of "It's only love" by Bryan Adams, which is also a great song.
Was there any other Bonus Tracks??? I have never heard that one. In the USA we usually don't get the Bonus Tracks. I love this one!
Where did the performance clips come from? Is that from the LH concert DVD...which I still have to watch?
I love this song but can't find it on iTunes :(
Não tem esta canção no SPOTIFY!
Sambora best guitar player🎸
how do i get this song its brilliant, i want i want,
Awesome song, but it sux that it was only on the album sold at Target AND it's not available at iTunes!
that would be a perfect C.D.
2006 this song's made off Lost Highway the full album come out 2007
can someone send me this song so i can put it on my Itunes? im a hugeeee bon jovi fan and im mad i cant find this song anywhere=(
I have noticed lately a lot of the songs i've heard that didn't quite make certain albums seem to be better than most songs that particular album had on it.
