Family Business

[Verse 1]
Teacher told me, "Son get your degree or the real world's gonna be hell"
But I was learning all about the nine to fives from the smokey mountain nightingale
Yeah I grew up picking on a hand-me-down six tune that couldn't hold a tune
But I played that thing till my fingers bled maybe deep down I knew

[Pre-Chorus]
One day I'd end up, up in the family business

[Verse 2]
Grand daddy bought himself a maxi van and a fiddle and hit the road
Tryna make a living, or just enough money for gas to get back home
I've been writing about life one song at a time sincе about twelve years old
Thеn I moved to music city to sing these ditties and try to strike the country gold

[Pre-Chorus]
I finally ended up in the family business, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I ain't no doctor, no lawyer
Don't care if I don't make a dollar, singing my songs
As long as some 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

[Verse 3]
Hey
Mama was a songbird all her life she kept me underneath her wing
And she told me that you'd never work a day in your life getting paid for what you'd do for free
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 late

[Chorus]
I ain'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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I ain't no doctor, no lawyer, I am just another guitar boy, yeah
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, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Thank God I ended up in the family business, yeah
Thank God I ended up in the family business, oh
Thank God I ended up in the family business, oh
Thank God I ended up in the family business
