| Mama’s crying again
|
| Her baby’s nowhere to be found
|
| The world has gone taken her away
|
| Daddy went and ran off with some white trash half his age
|
| Left me at home to pay for his mistakes
|
| My sister held my hand when that bad boy broke my heart
|
| Ain’t no miles ain’t no man could ever tear us apart
|
| Now here I stand on roots that deep
|
| We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
|
| We’re best of friends and worst enemies
|
| We’re all to blame, we’re all the same
|
| Make no apologies
|
| This is my family
|
| I can’t forget the night that Uncle William passed away
|
| We were forced to recognize his weird disease
|
| I ran away and ran around with a man twice my age
|
| Ain’t it funny how some things never change
|
| Now here I stand on roots that deep
|
| We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
|
| We’re best of friends and worst enemies
|
| We’re all to blame, we’re all the same
|
| Make no apologies
|
| This is my family
|
| Don’t you try to shame my name
|
| 'Cause 'till the death I will defend
|
| Yeah this blood runs through my veins
|
| It’s where I start and where I’ll end
|
| Now here I stand on roots that deep
|
| We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
|
| We’re best of friends and worst enemies
|
| We’re all to blame, we’re all the same
|
| Make no apologies
|
| This is my family
|
| This is my family
|
| Whoa, we call this family
|
| Yeah, this is my family |
