Family Ties Songtext
von Cereus Bright

I was born again
To a tape cassette
You danced all around me
I got upset

Looked for me all night
In the winter rain
If you don′t come home, boy
Your life will never be the same

Jesus Christ
I'm down on my knees
Family ties holding me
Nothing breaks these ties

An angel met you
In a marijuana smoke
If there′s a guy who loves you
Will he fix everything you broke?


When my hand was struck
We went our separate ways
We stood behind in public
I didn't know who else to blame

Jesus Christ
I'm down on my knees
Family ties holding me
Nothing breaks these ties

Grandma cuts a slice
Of your favorite cake
"I never thought I′d have
A son who lives so far away"

We look at ourselves
In yellow photographs
And I ain′t seen Joe
Still making everybody laugh

Jesus Christ
I'm down on my knees
Family ties holding me
Nothing breaks these ties
