Right On Time

Boy says father will you make me a stronger man?

Father says he'll try

Hand goes slack across his face and all he heard

Boy be a man, and don't you cry



I, I ain't saying it was right

But it was right on time

I, I ain't saying it was right

But he was always right by my side



Boy says mother will you wash my sins away?

Mother says she'll try

Sometimes it seems like things ain't never change

Boy understand, don't wast your time



I, I ain't saying it was right

But it was right on time

I, I ain't saying it was right

But she was always right by my side



I, I ain't saying it was right

But it was right on time

I, I ain't saying it was right

But he was always right by my side

Right by my side

Right by my side

Right by my side

Right by my side

Right by my side
