[Verse 1]
Mama's crying again
Her baby's nowhere to be found
The world has gone taken her away
Daddy went and ran off with some white trash half his age
Left me at home to pay for his mistakes
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
[Chorus]
Now here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
[Verse 2]
I can't forget the night that Uncle William passed away
We were forced to recognize his weird disease
I ran away and ran around with a man twice my age
Ain't it funny how some things never change
[Chorus]
Now here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
[Verse 3]
Don't you try to shame my name
'Cause 'till the death I will defend
Yeah this blood runs through my veins
It's where I start and where I'll end
[Chorus]
Now here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
This is my family
[Outro]
Whoa, we call this family
Yeah, this is my family
Mama's crying again
Her baby's nowhere to be found
The world has gone taken her away
Daddy went and ran off with some white trash half his age
Left me at home to pay for his mistakes
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
[Chorus]
Now here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
[Verse 2]
I can't forget the night that Uncle William passed away

We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same

This is my family
[Outro]
Whoa, we call this family
Yeah, this is my family
