lyrics

When the stranger comes in the night
You know I can't hold you
When the morning comes into light
Know what I told you
I think you love the life that you're living in...
And I think he ought to know
That a family man has your better half
And it's time for him to go

Well you better watch out
'Cause the road gets bumpy
When you find yourself in a Holiday Inn
Riding around with the one you think you love
Better look twice or you'll be living with him
Watch out honey for that hayseed lover
He ain't the one who's buying your shoes
Better look out if you're hiding under cover
'Cause a family man
Is what you don't wanna lose

Don’t wanna lose no good family man
Talking 'bout a good, honey, a good family man
And I wanna be
I wanna be your family man
Talking 'bout a good family man

If you dream about him at night
You know I can't hold you
And if you're thinking 'bout leaving tonight
Know what I told you
I think you love the life that you're living in
And I think he ought to know
That a family man has your better half
And it's time for him to go

Well you better watch out
'Cause the road gets bumpy
When you find yourself in a Holiday Inn
Riding around with the one you think you love
Better look twice or you'll be living with him
Watch out honey for that hayseed lover
He ain't the one who's buying your shoes
Better look out if you're hiding under cover
'Cause a family man
Is what you don't wanna lose

Don’t wanna lose no good family man
Talking 'bout a good, honey, a good family man
And I wanna be
I wanna be your family man
Talking 'bout a good family man

A couple of kids
A couple of cars
Built a couple fences all around the yard
I wanna be your family man

I wanna be your very best friend forever...
