Family Tree Lyrics

Family Tree
INTRO: E A B E
I was a little bit different, always ahead of my time
And my daddy said son you're headin' for a life of crime
And my mama tells me I'm a curse of the neighborhood
But I won't change now even if I thought I could
Well I left my home on the day I was 21
Folks at home refer to me as prodigal son
Small times, small change never did agree with me
So I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
CHORUS:
Now I'm makin' you a promise, and you can take it to the witness stand
When I get a chance, I'll see you just as soon as I can
Hey do you miss me ma, daddy do you still love me
'Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
Now I must admit that your little boy's havin' fun
And I don't expect you to forgive all the things I've done
Hey but believe me ma, I've learned me a thing or two
I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for my daddy and you
Hey do you miss me ma, daddy do you still love me
'Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
Yeah I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
