I am a family man

I traded in my mustang for a minivan

This is not what I was headed for when I began

This was not my plan

I am a family man


But everything I had to lose

Came back a thousand times in you

And you fill me up with love

Fill me up with love

And you help me stand

'cause I am a family man


And life is good

That's something I always knew

But I just never understood

If you'd asked me then you know I'd say I never would

Settle down in a neighborhood

I never thought I could


But I don't remember anymore

Who I even was before

You filled me up with love

Filled me up with love

And you help me stand


So come on with the thunder clouds

Let the cold wind rail against us, let the rain come down

We can build a roof above us with the love we've found

We can stand our ground

So let the rain come down


Because love binds up what breaks in two

So keep my heart so close to you

And I'll fill you up with love

Fill you up with love

And I'll help you stand

'Cause I am a family man


I'm saving my vacation time

For Disneyland

This is not what I was headed for when I began

This was not my plan

It's so much better than
