Family Man Lyrics

Family Man lyrics

I swung down from an early freight trying to get my head on straight this
morning

I didn't sleep too well last night and every bone and muscle aches today

I can't believe this hungry man with wrinkled clothes and dirty hands is me

You'd never known to look at me that I used to be a family man

Somewhere the woman who once loved me is gettin' up to dress my kids for
school

Maybe they won't grow up to hate me or ever know their daddy was a fool

[ ac.guitar ]

It seems I've lost all tracks of time

And the only thoughts to cross my mind're homeward

The thing I dread more than today is to face another cold and grey tomorrow

I've lost my pride and sanity and no one stops or takes the time to know me

I can't say I blame 'em though cause I don't look much like a family man

Somewhere the little girl who needs me is beginning to forget he daddy's
face

Somewhere the woman who once loved me

Has turned to kiss the man who's taking my place
