brandon ratcliff - family business lyrics

[verse 1]
teacher told me, “son get your degree or the real world’s gonna be h_ll”
but i was learning all about the nine to fives from the smokey mountain nightingale
yeah i grew up picking on a hand_me_down six tune that couldn’t hold a tune
but i played that thing till my fingers bled maybe deep down i knew

[pre_chorus]
one day i’d end up, up in the family business

[verse 2]
grand daddy bought himself a maxi van and a fiddle and hit the road
tryna make a living, or just enough money for gas to get back home
i’ve been writing about life one song at a time sincе about twelve years old
thеn i moved to music city to sing these ditties and try to strike the country gold
[pre_chorus]
i finally ended up in the family business, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

[chorus]
i ain’t no doctor, no lawyer
don’t care if i don’t make a dollar, singing my songs
as long as some sings along
blame it on the genes, blame it on a dream or a little bit of both
but thank god i ended up in the family business

[verse 3]
hey
mama was a songbird all her life she kept me underneath her wing
and she told me that you’d never work a day in your life getting paid for what you’d do for free
so i clocked in when i see the lights come on and the band starts to play
i don’t mind putting in a little overtime and tonight we’re working late

[chorus]
i ain’t no doctor, no lawyer, i hit the road just like tom sawyer
singing my songs, as long as someone sings along
blame it on the genes, blame it on a dream or a little bit of both
but thank god i ended up in the family business, hey yeah, yeah, yeah

[instrumental break]

[chorus]
i ain’t no doctor, no lawyer, i am just another guitar boy, yeah
singing my songs, as long as someone sings along
blame it on the genes, blame it on a dream or a little bit of both
but thank god i ended up in the family business, yeah, yeah, yeah
[outro]
thank god i ended up in the family business, yeah
thank god i ended up in the family business, oh
thank god i ended up in the family business, oh
thank god i ended up in the family business
