Daddy hit the bottle  Momma hit the roof  They must've hit it off  I'm the living proof  All their bad habits  Got handed down to me  You can find me hanging  From the family tree    Daddy had his demons  They moved in for the kill  Daddy up and died  Left them demons in his will  I'm fighting with the devil  And he outweighs me  Jesus cut me down from the family tree    Chorus:  Well, now the roots run deep  Through my own back yard  The fruit goes bad  And it don't fall far  Nothing good grows from a  Bad seed  You can find me hanging from the family tree    Drank a little courage  Got a hunk of rope  Got everything I need  Everything but hope    Carved a prayer in the bark  "Heaven please take me"  Please don't leave me swinging from the family tree    Repeat chorus    Please don't leave me swinging from the family tree  Jesus cut me down from the family tree
