Family

Mama's cryin' again, her baby's nowhere to be found
The world has gone and taken her away
Daddy went and ran off with some white trash half his age
Left me at home to pay for his mistakes

And my sister held my hand
When that bad boy broke my heart
Ain't no miles, ain't no man
Could ever tear us apart

Now here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
The best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies, this is my family
Yeah, this is my family

I can't forget the night that Uncle William passed away
We we're forced to recognize his weird disease
I ran away and ran around with a man twice my age
Ain't it funny how some things never change

Now here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
The best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies, this is my family

And don't you try to shame that name
'Cause till the death I will defend
Yeah, the blood runs through my veins
It's where I start and where I'll end

Now here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
The best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies, this is my family

Yeah, this is my family
Whoa, we call this family
Yeah, this is my family
