I remember I remember when I were just nine
And on your lap, Da' the whole world, well it was just fine
But I shouted, I shouted and I made you cry
The next year, it's colder, we moved in '85
Still on your lap da, my hero at my side
And my new friends would call, would call out our names
And every time I'm getting light on the road
Get to the phone... I'm calling father
And everywhere if there is trouble ahead
There's only one call, my father
So laddie be, and laddie be rock'n'roll
And laddie go and laddie sometime go home
So laddie be, and laddie be who you are
But laddie fight, and laddie always push hard.
Do you remember, you remember when you kidnapped me
Only 14, and drunk found up a tree
On the vodka that Ashley he stole for me
In a few years, our Ashley, he would leave me
The best guy, the best man only to the
And our friendship now just teary memories
I remember, I remember when you went away
I was so sad, and depressed and drunk everyday
And then the new life, my angel - she came my way
My whole world, it changed right on that day
Daddy's little girl, now beside me while I type away
When a life is taken a new friend is sent your way
You remember, you remember how life gets you high
Well I see it, yeah see it, with my Da' at my side
I can make it, cause you made me fight
And here we are now, a little older, the surf may have died
But life its still calling, and I'll face it, promise I won't hide
And on your lap da', the whole world, well it is just fine
