Family Man

I've been workin' as a temp

At the local factory

I hope they hire me on full time

I got shoes to buy

And a mouth to feed

I drive a buy here, pay here truck

It ain't new but it is to me

It ain't much but it fires right up

And get me from A to B

What puts the dirt underneath my nails?

What keeps the calluses on my hands?

Family man

They're a world my world revolves around

My sacred piece of solid ground

The flesh and bone that gives me strength to stand

They're a fire in my drivin' on

The drive behind my comin' home

The livin, breathin' reason that I am

A family man

There's dirty shirts to wash

Dishes in the sink to do

And there's how many times

Does seventeen go into fifty-two

There's bedtime prayers to pray

Sleep tights and I love you's

And then there's a pair of eyes

I get to lose myself into

What keeps me keepin' the faith?

What makes me believe I can?

Family man

They're a world my world revolves around

My sacred piece of solid ground

The flesh and bone that gives me strength to stand

They're a fire in my drivin' on

The drive behind my comin' home

The livin, breathin' reason that I am

A family man

They're a fire in my drivin' on

The drive behind my comin' home

The livin, breathin' reason that I am

A family man

A family man

(Ooh)
