Lyrics
Whoa, Jocko, don't expect me
To come out drinking, messin' around
Spending time
With a bunch of crazy people
Yes, I've been there before
I don't need to go back no more
I'm just a family man
Like it or not
I am a family man
I'm a-holding onto what I've got
I am a family man
Right by damn
I finally find out the what I am
Nothin' but a family man
And don't expect me
To hit the road
At a moment's notice
Without my suitcase
With some crazy bunch of strangers
In some unknown car
I'm just not willing to go that far
The life I used to lead was a little too frantic
I guess I just got eyes to grow old and grey
And if what I have in mind isn't super romantic to ya
I guess I've always saw myself this way
I'm just a family man
Like it or not
I am a family man
Holding onto what I've got
Family man
Right by damn
I finally find out the what I really am
Seems to be a family man
Oh, family
Sears and Roebuck
Howard Johnson
Colonel Sanders
Station wagon
Arnold Paole
Second mortgage
Look at here, daddy
I want that thing
Oh, I'm a family man
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I can never lose my blues
Walk on over and turn on the TV
What I'd like to do is lie down on the sofa
Maybe watch some football
I'm just a family man
Like it or not
I am a family man
Holding onto what I've got
Nothin' but a family man
Right by damn
I finally find out the what I am
Nothin' but a family man
