Family Tree

Suzy Bogguss

Nobody Love, Nobody Gets Hurt



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 far 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 far 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 far as I can see

From the top of the family tree

A hundred branches growing `round me

Way up here in the family tree



The world looks fine as far as I can see

From the top of the family tree

A hundred branches growing `round me

Way up here in the family tree...
