Family Man

from Let Me Love You by BettySoo

/

lyrics

He brings a good paycheck, keeps them fed
He does good at his business
He keeps ahead

He drives a nice car, stays between the lines
People ask how he’s doing, says he’s doing fine

He’s a family man
He does what he can

Volunteers at church with the offering plate
He always makes the service, never comes late

His kids are always in the Christmas musical
He’ll make sure this year their stockings get full

He’s a family man
He does what he can

And He’s not looking to fool around
He keeps to his business
Keeps his eyes on the ground
But every once in a while that pretty girl comes in
And he wonders what would happen, if it’d be a sin
He’s a family man
He’s a family man

He feels so alone late at night
He can’t help but miss his wife

Just one year ago she closed her eyes
He promised he would never, ever compromise

He’s a family man
He does what he can
