Raised Right

Set straight from the first time

Taught from the start, right from wrong

Led by example, shown to be strong

On how to act and to carry on

My mother raised me, to be a gentle man

And I know I am my father's son

[Chorus:]

I'll always be keeping my, head up high

I'll always be keeping on, on and on

I'll always be keeping my, head up high

I'll always be keeping on, on and on

Hard work was the best of traits

And to lend a hand, whenever you can

If it was never broken, no need to fix

If it needed mending, learn to stitch

My mother raised me, a resourceful man

And I know I am my father's son

I'll always be keeping my, head up high

I'll always be keeping on, on and on

I'll always be keeping my, head up high

I'll always be keeping on

Without a foundation and sights set so clear

I would fail

I know that I could not have made it to here

I would fail

All that you gave me came straight from the heart

I would fail

Without all the love that you gave from the start

I would fail

[Chorus]

Set straight from the first time

It's a credit to you I never went astray

Last time I checked, I was doing fine

Last time I checked I hadn't lost my mind

My mother raised me, as best as she could

I know I am my father's son
