Have to get up to answer the call.
So I think I'll go back to the family
Where no one can ring me at all.
Living this life has it's problems
So I think that I'll give it a break.
Oh, I'm going back to the family
'cos I've had about all I can take.
Master's in the counting house
Counting all his money.
Sister's sitting by the mirror --
She thinks her hair looks funny.
And here am I thinking to myself
Just wond'ring what things to do.
I think I enjoyed all my problems
Where I did not get nothing for free.
Oh, I'm going back to the family --
Doing nothing is bothering me.
I'll get a train back to the city
That soft life is getting me down.
There's more fun away from the family
Get some action when I pull into town.
Everything I do is wrong,
What the hell was I thinking?
Phone keeps ringing all day long
I got no time for thinking.
And every day has the same old way
Of giving me too much to do.
My telephone wakes me in the morning -- Have to get up to answer the call. So I think I'll go back to the family Where no one can ring me at all. Living this life has it's problems So I think that I'll give it a break. Oh, I'm going back to the family 'cos I've had about all I can take. Master's in the counting house Counting all his money. Sister's sitting by the mirror -- She thinks her hair looks funny. And here am I thinking to myself Just wond'ring what things to do. I think I enjoyed all my problems Where I did not get nothing for free. Oh, I'm going back to the family -- Doing nothing is bothering me. I'll get a train back to the city That soft life is getting me down. There's more fun away from the family Get some action when I pull into town. Everything I do is wrong, What the hell was I thinking? Phone keeps ringing all day long I got no time for thinking. And every day has the same old way Of giving me too much to do. Explain Request ×
