Family Man

A Country Song in My Mind

I literally woke up with this song on my mind. Now I got to get someone to put this to music.

Refrain

Family Man

I’m getting close to home,

I don’t want to be late.

I pray to the Lord Jesus

I get home by eight.

My five little children

I’m missing so much.

But most of all,

I miss my wife’s sweet touch.

It’s been a few weeks.

I’ve been on the road.

Crossing these highways

With a massive load.

It’s the nasty weather,

That makes me recall,

My Lord’s got this,

I ain’t in control

Refrain

At the truck stop

Feeling lonely and strange

Eating my beans

Playing with the food on my plate

A nice little woman

Comes by and says to me hey,

I make the cross on my heart

And tell her about my girl Kate.

Refrain

Well, Kate’s, sweet and strong.

And loves me so much.

She wants to have babies,

Because it’s God’s sweet touch

That brings us both closer,

To the eternal one

Plus, the act of creation,

Sure is fun!

 Refrain

I get some time,

Between the long trips

We thank the Lord,

For all our great gifts.

Our home, our food

And the holiday trips

I say my prayers,

In my room all alone.

It’s Kate and the kids

That bring me all my joy.

I could’ve been a rock star.

That ain’t no matter

‘Cause I’d rather have this.

Refrain
