Under that oak, by the riverside
He told me tales of his younger life
A worn-out hat and a knowin' grin
Granddad's stories pulled me in
H-Hey, we're free, yeah, side by side
In those moments, full of pride
And in my heart, he's here tonight
Guidin' me through wrongs and rights
Uh-woh-hoo
Hands on my shoulder, guidin' me
His spirit's here, though I can't see
Every mile, every turn I take
I carry his voice, the path I make
H-Hey, we're free, yeah, side by side
In those moments, full of pride
In my heart, he's here tonight
Guidin' me through wrong and right
Uh-woh-hoo
Oh we're free yeah, side by side
In those moments full of pride
In my heart he's here tonight
Guiding me through wrong and right
Uh-woh-hoo
