Lyrics
My mother had this feelong on the day the news arrived
My Brothers started calling all from far and wide
a single choice we follow will lead our seperate lives
the day has come upon us now we realize
Keep it in the family
let them see your spirit grow
Keep it in the family
Dont let the connection go
My Father loved the bottle
My Brothers and me hide
My mother put him in the ground
She said we keep this all inside
Chorus....
My mother had this feeling
On the day my father died
She was tired of his screeming
Fearing for her life
Keep it in the family
let them see your spirit flow
keep it in the family
dont let evidence show
