Kind as anyone you know
But whiskey got a hold of him
And won't let go
And even though she hates him when he's stumbling
Her heart still breaks his fall
It is a family tie
It is a family tie
It is a family tie
That binds
verse 2
Still has somehow lost his way
He causes me such pain
Every day
And you might say, how many times can you forgive
Oh, I cannot count that high
It is a family tie
It is a family tie
It is a family tie
That binds
Bridge
You have it with you from the cradle to the grave
It is a family tie
It is a family tie
It is a family tie
That binds
