Lyrics
FAMILY MAN
Get up in the morning too early for the sun
Long-haul trucker?s got to make another run.
Knowing why he?s working, that?s what gets him through the day
Knowin? that it?s worth it, while he?s bringin? home the pay
He?s a family man, that?s all that matters
Taking care of business for the people he loves
Family man, workin? for a living
He?ll do anything for the family he loves
Watchin? the clock ? yeah- and countin? every minute
Wants to tell ?em where to put the job and everything in it
The picture in his wallet keep him drivin? all night
It?s everything he loves his kids and wife
(REPEAT CHORUS )
Bridge:
Too many cups o? coffee, and too many cigarettes
Too much aggravation and too little time to rest
He can handle anything that?s alright with him
Knows he?s goin? home soon, he?s gonna be with them
He?s a family man
He?s a family man
Family man
Lucy at the diner?s got an awful lot showin?
If he were to let her, he knows where she?d be goin?
Skirt comes up to here, and her top goes down to there
She can try it all she wants to, but he?s never gonna care
( REPEAT CHORUS )
He?s a family man
He?s a family man
Family man
