Her husband is a decent man
Kind as anyone you know
But whiskey got a hold of him
And won't let go and even though
She hates him when he's stumbling
Her heart still breaks his fall
It is a family tie, it's just a family tie
It is a family tie that binds
Their child who they have loved so much
Still has somehow lost his way
He causes them such trouble
Every day and you might say
How many times can you forgive?
Well, I cannot count that high
It's just a family tie, it is a family tie
It is a family tie that binds
It is the very best of gifts God gave
You have it with you from the cradle to the grave
It is a family tie, just a family tie
It is a family tie that binds
