Mama's cryin' again
Her baby's nowhere to be found
The world has gone
And taken her away
Daddy went and ran off
With some white trash
Half his age
Left me at home
To pay for his mistakes
And my sister held my hand
When that bad boy broke my heart
Ain't no miles, ain't no man
Could ever tear us apart
Now here I stand
On roots so deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt and we bleed
We're best of friends
But worst enemies
We're all to blame
And we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
Whoa, this is my family
I can't forget the night
Uncle Willie passed away
We were close to recognising
We ran away and we ran around
Ain't it funny how
Some things never change
Now here I stand
On roots so deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt and we bleed
We're best of friends
But worst enemies
We're all to blame
And we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
This is my family
Don't you try
To change my name
You'll regret that
Yeah, just let me do my thing
Where I start, where I end
Now here I stand
On roots so deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt and we bleed
We're best of friends
But worst enemies
We're all to blame
And we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
This is my family
Whoa, this is my family
