Family Tree Lyrics

Boys Choir
This is my family tree
Won't you take a minute sit down with me
Learn a little bit of my history, history, history
This is my family tree
Won't you take a minute sit down with me
Learn a little bit of my history, history, history…

[Verse]
See I love my dad
And I love my mama
An only child at best
But never raised by another
Though I'm quite content
With my life and upbringing
Daddy never understood why
The reasons for my singing
See my mom she stayed supportive
In the ways that she could
But even then I always felt like I was mis(ter)understood
Even though I might just make a mess
Doing what I love
The only one left to impress
Is the man up above

[Chorus]
Oh I
Wanna fall a little further from the tree
Even if it takes the best of me…I tried
Oh I
Wanna sow in the ground with my own hands
Gotta grow into the man I am
On my own, on my own

[Verse]
See it was a late night back in ‘97
Talking to my dad ‘bout the stars and the heavens he…
Was going on and on about being a kid once
Eventually settling down and having a son
That's where I come in
Don't you ever wonder man how it could've been
If you took a different road
Shook a different hand
Stepped out and left it up in God's hands
See I'm not trying to question you and your authority, no
You and mom both, you have been so good to me
I never said it would be easy
I got my faith and all that you gave me
And if that means falling further from tree
Well that's how it's gonna be…

[Chorus]
Oh I
Wanna fall a little further from the tree
Even if it takes the best of me…I tried
Oh I
Wanna sow in the ground with my own hands
Gotta grow into the man I am
On my own, on my own

Boys Choir
This is my family tree
Won't you take a minute sit down with me
Learn a little bit of my history, history, history
This is my family tree
Won't you take a minute sit down with me
Learn a little bit of my history, history, history…

[Chorus]
Oh I
Wanna fall a little further from the tree
Even if it takes the best of me…I tried
Oh I
Wanna sow in the ground with my own hands
Gotta grow into the man I am
On my own, on my own
