family man

i can remember my grandpa when i was five years old

he'd pull me up on his knee

and i remember every story that he ever told

he and my grandma well they would always be

two southern lovers just kissing on each other so tenderly. and he'd say

all i ever wanted to be was your family man

to work real hard girl and give you everything i can

i just want to be your family man

tell the children that i'll always lend a helping hand

i just want to be your family man

just want to be your family man. mom and dad worked real hard to raise us kids

they were always there for me

and it didn't matter what is was i did

they've seen the hard times

sickness and the hell

it didn't really take too long

before they found that money it don't mean wealth. and he'd say

all i ever wanted to be was your family man

to work real hard girl and give you everything i can

i just want to be your family man

tell the children that i'll always lend a helping hand

i just want to be your family man

just want to be your family man. last night i had a dream from heaven up above

he taught me how to win her heart and win her love

he said it i was going to love you then listen to what he said and do it his way. and he'd say

all i ever wanted to be was your family man

to work real hard girl and give you everything i can

i just want to be your family man

tell the children that i'll always lend a helping hand

i just want to be your family man

just want to be your family man. he said you just got to be her family man

work real hard boy

but live your life according to my plan

you just got to be her family man

tell the children

tell them exactly who i am

you just got to be her family man

just got to be her family man.
