Family Tree Lyrics

Bobby's double dipping on the pension plan

stays sober till he drinks again

And Danny's just trying to do the best he can

To hold it all together with his own two hands

Danny's got a truck with a ladder on top

Got work if you want it meet him down at the shop

Tools in the bed, he's got beers in the back

Gives you 8 hrs and he pays in cash

The way it is

Is the way it's always been

Workin hard

To never work too hard again

We all got a lot of the little we need

But Money don't grow on the family tree

Way back when

Long time ago

Fool looked like me

Hopped on to a boat

Said he wasn't coming back

Until he struck gold

Got a Barn full of shovels

And a yard full of holes

The way it is

Is the way it's always been

Workin hard

To never work too hard again

We all got a lot of the little we need

But Money don't grow on the family tree

Rich folks need the poor

Like a doormat needs a floor

Somewhere down the line

If they get theirs I might get mine

If somebody's gotta do it

Then it oughta be me

Money don't grow

On the family tree
