Back To The Family - Lyrics by Jethro Tull


Lyrics
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 its 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.
