Mama's crying 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 me heart
Ain't no miles, Ain't no man
Could ever tear us apart

Now here I stand
On roots that deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends
And worst enemies
We're all to blame
We're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family

Can't forget the night
That Uncle William passed away
We were forced to recognize his weird disease
I ran away and ran around
With a man twice my age
Ain't it funny how some things never change

Now here I stand
On roots that deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends
And worst enemies
We're all to blame
We're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
Oh, this is my family

Don't you try to shame my name
'Cause to the death I will defend
Yeah, there blood rund through my veins
It's where I start and where I'll end

Now here I stand
On roots that deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends
And worst enemies
We're all to blame
We're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
Oh, this is my family
Yeah, we call this family
Oh, this is my family
