John Eddie - Family Tree lyrics

rate me

Daddy hit the bottle

Momma hit the roof

They must've hit it off

I'm the living proof

All their bad habits

Got handed down to me

You can find me hanging

From the family tree

Daddy had his demons

They moved in for the kill

Daddy up and died

Left them demons in his will

I'm fighting with the devil

And he outweighs me

Jesus cut me down from the family tree

Chorus:

Well, now the roots run deep

Through my own back yard

The fruit goes bad

And it don't fall far

Nothing good grows from a

Bad seed

You can find me hanging from the family tree

Drank a little courage

Got a hunk of rope

Got everything I need

Everything but hope

Carved a prayer in the bark

"Heaven please take me"

Please don't leave me swinging from the family tree

Repeat chorus

Please don't leave me swinging from the family tree

Jesus cut me down from the family tree
