Mama's cryin' again Her baby's nowhere to be found The world has gone And taken her away Daddy went and ran off With some white trash Half his age Left me at home To pay for his mistakes And my sister held my hand When that bad boy broke my heart Ain't no miles, ain't no man Could ever tear us apart Now here I stand On roots so deep We laugh, we cry We hurt and we bleed We're best of friends But worst enemies We're all to blame And we're all the same Make no apologies This is my family Whoa, this is my family I can't forget the night Uncle Willie passed away We were close to recognising We ran away and we ran around Ain't it funny how Some things never change Now here I stand On roots so deep We laugh, we cry We hurt and we bleed We're best of friends But worst enemies We're all to blame And we're all the same Make no apologies This is my family This is my family Don't you try To change my name You'll regret that Yeah, just let me do my thing Where I start, where I end Now here I stand On roots so deep We laugh, we cry We hurt and we bleed We're best of friends But worst enemies We're all to blame And we're all the same Make no apologies This is my family This is my family Whoa, this is my family
