Family Tree

(专辑： Nobody Love, Nobody Gets Hurt - 1998)

There was a maple tree in our front yard
When I was growing up, I'd climb up to the top
And watch my brother trading baseball cards
My daddy pulling weeds, mother's calling me
I was hiding in the leaves

And the world looked fine as far as I could see
From the top of the family tree
A hundred branches growing 'round me
Way up there in the family tree

When I was seventeen, I left that town
My life was right on track
I never once looked back
I was so sure that I was glory bound
I gave it all I had and when it all went bad
Got a phone call from my dad

And the world looked fine as far as I could see
From the top of the family tree
A hundred branches growing 'round me
Way up there in the family tree

Now I'm older and my husband laughs at me
I'm building houses for the kids up in a tree

And the world looks fine as far as I can see
From the top of the family tree
A hundred branches growing 'round me
Way up here in the family tree

The world looks fine as far as I can see
From the top of the family tree
A hundred branches growing 'round me
Way up here in the family tree...
