Family Man

Whoa, Jocko, don't expect me to come out drinking, messing around
Spending my time with a bunch of crazy people
Yes, I been there before
I don't need to go back no more

I'm just a family man, like it or not
I am a family man, I'm a-holding onto what I've got
I'm a family man, right by damn
I finally find out that what I am is a family man

And don't expect me to hit the road
At a moment's notice without my suitcase
With some crazy bunch of strangers in some unknown car
Well, I'm just not willing to go that far

The life I used to lead was a little too frantic
I guess I just got eyes to grow old and grey
And if what I have in mind isn't super romantic
I guess I always saw myself this way

I'm just a family man, like it or not
That I am a family man, I'm a-holding onto what I've got
I'm a family man, oh yeah right by damn
I finally find out what I am is a family man

Sears and Roebuck, Howard Johnson
Colonel Sanders, Station wagon
Briggs and Stratton, second mortgage whoa

If I can ever lose my blues babe
Walk on over, turn on the TV
What I'd like to do is lie down on the sofa later on

I might walk my dog, baby whoa
Bo Diddley's a family man
