Lyrics

Family Man

[Verse 1]

Walk down this road

When the road gets rough

I fall down

I get up

[Chorus]

I am what I am (Am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)

A family man (A family man)

I am what I am (Am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)

A family man (A family man)

Mother... father... brother

Mother... father... brother

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

Walk down this road

In the cool of the night

Don't know what's wrong

But I do know what's right

[Chorus]

I am what I am (Am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)

A family man (A family man)

I am what I am (Am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)

A family man (A family man)

Mother... father... brother

Mother... father... brother

[Chorus]

I am what I am (Am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)

A family man (A family man)

I am what I am (Am what I am, I am what I am, am what I am)

A family man (A family man)

Mother... father... brother

Mother... father... brother
