Lyrics for Back to the Family
My telephone wakes me in the morning Have to get up to answer the call So I think I'll go back to the family Where no one can ring me at all Living this life has its problems So I think that I'll give it a break Oh, I'm going back to the family Cause I've had about all I can take Master's in the counting house Counting all his money Sister's sitting by the mirror She thinks her hair looks funny And here am I thinking to myself Just wond'ring what things to do I think I enjoyed all my problems Where didn't I get nothing for free Oh, I'm going back to the family Doing nothing is bothering me I'll get a train back to the city That soft life is getting me down There's more fun away from the family Get some action when I pull into town Everything I do is wrong What the hell was I thinking? Phone keeps ringing all day long I got no time for thinking And every day has the same old way Of giving me too much to do
