A Family Tie
Lyrics and Songs by Linda Davis - Go back

(Hugh Prestwood)

Her husband is a decent man
Kind as anyone you know
But whiskey got a hold of him
And won't let go, and even though
She hates him when she's stumbling
Her heart still breaks his fall

It is a family tie
It's just a family tie
It is a famiy tie that binds

Their child who they have loved so much
Still has somehow lost his way
He causes them such trouble
Every day, and you might say
How many times can you forgive
Well I cannot count that high

It is a family tie
It's just a family tie
It is a famiy tie that binds

It is the very best of gifts God gave
You have it with you from the cradle to the grave

It is a family tie
It's just a family tie
It is a famiy tie that binds
