Текст песни Family Man - Live 1976 - James Taylor

Woah Jocko, don't expect me
To come out drinking, messin' around
Spending time
With a bunch of crazy people
Yes, I been there before
I don't need to go back no more

I'm just a family man
Like it or not
I am a family man
I'm a-holding onto what I've got
I'm a family man
Right by damn
I finally find out that what I am
Nothing but a family man

And don't expect me
To hit the road
At a moment's notice
Without my suitcase
For some crazy bunch of strangers
In some unknown car
Well, I'm just not willing to go that far

The life I used to lead was a little too frantic
I guess I just got eyes to grow old and grey
And if what I have in mind isn't super romantic to you
I guess I've always saw myself this way

I'm just a family man
Like it or not
I am a family man
Holding onto what I've got
A family man
Right by damn
I finally find out to what I really am
Seems to be a family man

Sears and Roebuck
Howard Johnson
Colonel Sanders
Station wagon
Arnold Pollock
Second mortgage
Look here, no doubt it

Oh I'm a family man
Oh ho ho ho ho oh

If I can ever lose my blues
Walk on over, turn on the TV
What I'd like to do, lie down on the sofa
Never watched a softball came up on this

I'm just a family man
Like it or not
I am a family man
Holding onto what I've got
Right I'm a family man
Right by damn
I finally find out that what I am
Nothing but a family man
