Family Man

[Verse 1]
Well the day is bright and sunny and the fish'll surely bite
Boys down on the corner got a poker game tonight
But I can't do neither one, they'll have to understand
Gotta bring home the bacon 'cause I'm a family man

[Verse 2]
Well Johnny needs some brand new shoes and Peggy needs a dress
My wife's knittin' little things and I don't have to guess
There'll be another smilin' face to hold her daddy's hand
Gotta bring home the bacon 'cause I'm a family man

[Verse 3]
Well, I'd like to take this shotgun, blow the alarm clock half in two
Call the boss and tell 'im, "Oh buddy, we are through"
But I've gotta make some money, leave those castles in the sand
I gotta bring home the bacon 'cause I'm a family man

[Verse 4]
Well I've always said when the kids are grown I'd really have a ball
But I'll bet the years we're livin' now will be the best of all
Oh thank you Lord, for everything and united we will stand
I gotta bring home the bacon 'cause I'm a family man
