Family Tree

[Verse 1]
I was a little bit different
Always ahead of my time
And my daddy said son
You're headed for a life of crime
And my mama tells me
I'm the curse of the neighborhood
But I won't change now
Even if I thought I could

[Verse 2]
Well, I left my home
On the day I was twenty-one
Folks at home refer
To me as prodigal son
Small times, small change
Never did agree with me
So I went out on a limb
And fell off the family tree

[Chorus]
Now I'm making you a promise
And you can take it to the witness stand
When I get a chance
I'll see you just as soon as I can
Well, do you miss me, ma?
Daddy, do you still love me?
'Cause I went out on a limb
And fell off of the family tree

[Verse 3]
Now, you won't believe it
But your little boy is havin' fun
And I don't expect you
To forgive all the things I've done
But believe me, ma
I've learned a thing or two
I wouldn't be here now
If it wasn't for my daddy and you

[Chorus]
Now I'm making you a promise
And you can take it to the witness stand
When I get a chance
I'll see you just as soon as I can
Well, do you miss me, ma?
Daddy, do you still love me?
'Cause I went out on a limb
And fell off of the family tree

[Outro]
Well, do you miss me, ma?
Daddy, do you still love me?
'Cause I went out on a limb
And fell off of the family tree
Yeah, I went out on a limb
And fell off of the family tree
