We were always there
and so were they
thicker than blood families
you know what they say.
So we held ourselves together
high days and holidays
and when the good lord called
it was the way
the family moved.
Then came rebellion
broke all the rules
became a Jehovahs witness
started knocking on doors.
No son of mine
stoops so low
goes to places
that the family dont go.
Best you leave and maybe today
you broke the families rules
and that will not do.
You see we may lie
and cheat on tax
not go to church well we are lax,
we curse here and there
and blame others
but you becoming one of those
and calling them brothers.
We would like you back
but on our rules
you have not the right
to let us down
I am sure god would understand.
