Family Time
Sittin on my back porch
Watching the sun scorch
Wife and kids playing in the background
These are the reasons I'm still around.
I sometimes sit back and think
How'd I get some damn lucky
I might not of always had it in life
Now I've got a beautiful wife
we've made a beautiful world
And I've got a great place to lay to sleep at night.
My two little girls
They make up my world
We go together like Shirley Temple and curls.
I might not of always had a good life
I know what it's like when money is so tight you can't have a night light on
Or even have lights at all
Oh youre four years old now time to work now your able.
Cut the grass to keep food on the table
and just think that's just the beginning.
I can tell you story's and your head will be spinning.
But my horror stories were real life
And it's been things like that
That makes me wanna end it tonite.
But then I look over my shoulder my wife gives me a kiss
The girls are laughing and I sit and type this
These are the moments I know I can't miss.
So hello darkness my old friend
I don't have time for you again.
