Family Man

(앨범: Worlds Away - 1978)

He's a family man, he's got a job to do providing for his own
The wife and the kids and a couple of cars and the mortgage on his home
He spends all his time on a telephone line wondering where it's all gonna go
How much longer can he keep it together? He doesn't really know

But he's working hard for all the things that he loves
And he'll never let up because he knows if he does
He'll loose everything that he's ever worked for
Saying goodbye to the things he loves
Whoa whoa whoa

It's just a common situation
And you know that's the way it is
But still he thinks the time has come to pack it up
Move it out get away as fast as he can

Oh how, did it ever come to this?

He's a family man
Ah, he's doing the best he can

And when he gets home he has a couple of drinks
He's so tired of the same routine
He wants to live up to his master plan
But he wouldn't mind changing his scene

Oh, oh for a holiday
Oh, pack up the wife and kids and get away

But he's working hard for all the things that he loves
And he'll never let up because he knows if he does
He'll loose everything that he's ever worked for
Saying goodbye to the things he loves
Whoa whoa whoa

It's just a common situation
And you know that's the way it is
But still he thinks the time has come to pack it up
Move it out, get away, get away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, how did it ever come to this?

Ah, ah ah
Oh, he's a family man
Ah, he's doing the best he can
Ooh, happy family man
Ah, he's doing the best he can
