Suzy Bogguss - Family Tree lyrics

There was a maple tree in our front yard When I was growin up, I'd climb up to the top And watch my brother trading baseball cards My Daddy pulling weeds, mother callin me I was hiding in the leaves And the world looked fine as fas as I could see From the top of the family tree A hundred branches growing 'round me Way up there in the family tree When I was seventeen, I left that town My life was right on track, I never once looked back I was so sure that I was glory bound I gave it all I had and when it all went bad Got a phone call from my dad And the world looked fine as fas as I could see From the top of the family tree A hundred branches growing 'round me Way up there in the family tree Now I'm older and my husband laughs at me I'm building houses for the kids up in a tree And the world looks fine as fas as I can see From the top of the family tree A hundred branches growing 'round me Way up here in the family tree
