Daddy was always making time
He said son, he'd be a friend of mine
And take this with you down the track
'Cos when I'm gone I'm not coming back

Oh and raise up your hand
Just to tell me you understand

I look in your eyes when my baby smiles
I hold your hand when she goes by
I'm walking down this lonesome road
Sayin' some of the things 'bout which I've been told

Oh I raise up my right hand
So you know that I understand

Oh I raise up my hand
So you know that I understand

We were so young, so wild and free
Just couldn't see all the things you had seen
We had some times, oh I can tell
And some were sweet and some were hell

Oh I raise up my right hand
Just to tell you I understand

Oh I raise up my hand
So you know that I understand
