Family Business lyrics
Teacher told me "Son, get your degree Or the real world's gonna be hell" But I was learning all about nine to fives From the smokey mountain nightingale
Yeah, I grew up pickin' on a hand-me-down
Six-string that couldn't hold tune
But I played that thing till my fingers bled
Maybe deep down I knew
One day I'd end up
Up in the family businessGranddaddy bought himself a maxi van
And a fiddle and hit the road
Trying to make a living, or just enough money for gas to get back home
I've been writing 'bout life one song at a time
Since about twelve years old
Then I moved to Music City
To sing these ditties and try to strike country goldI finally ended
Up in the family business
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahI ain't no doctor, no lawyer
Don't care if I don't make a dollar
Singing my songs
As long as someone sings along
Blame it on the genes, blame it on a dream
Or a little bit of both
But thank God I ended
Up in the family businessHey
Momma was a songbird all her life
As she kept me underneath her wing
She told me that you never work a day in your life
Getting paid for what you'd do for free, uh
So, I clocked in when I see the lights come on
And the band starts to play
I don't mind putting in a little overtime
And tonight we're working lateAin't no doctor, no lawyer
I hit the road just like Tom Sawyer
Singing my songs
As long as someone sings along
Blame it on the genes blame it on a dream
Or a little bit of both
But thank God I ended
Up in the family business
Hey yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoo, ooh, oohYeah
I ain't no doctor, no lawyer
I'm just another guitar warrior
Singing my songs
As long as someone sings along
Blame it on the genes, blame it on a dream
Or a little bit of both
But thank God I ended
Up in the family business
Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeahThank God I ended, uh
Up in the family business, yeah
Thank God I ended, uh
Up in the family business, uh
Thank God I ended, uh
Up in the family business, uh
Thank God I ended, uh
Up in the family business
