We were raised in a little house With three of us lord it must?ve been rough But mom and daddy knew just what to do They tried to teach us right from wrong About the lord and the angels above But there were things I never understood (Chorus) Like where they went when the sun came up Some other lady taking care of us Waiting by the door late afternoon The way he laughed and the way she smiled The loving hugs that lasted for a while The sun went down to fast and way to soon Lord I wish I could?ve understood Now we?re all grown and we?ve our ways I?ve got two kids begging me to play But what I do takes up most of my time We try to teach them right from wrong About the lord and the angels above But in they?re eyes I see the past I knew (Chorus2) Like where we go when the sun comes up Some other lady taking care of ?em Waiting by the door late afternoon The way I laugh and the way she smiles The loving hugs that last for a while The sun goes down to fast and way to soon Lord I wish they somehow understood (bridge) We try to do the best we can To give them love and make them understand Why we have to do the things we do Lord I wish they somehow understood Lord I wish they could?ve understood
