In the Family (Remastered 1995)

In the Family - Don Williams

Well I was raised up by the golden rule

In an old house with a patched up roof

We had a hard home but it pulled us close

We were family

Oh that summer when the crops all died

Was the first time I saw daddy cry

And I heard momma say what goes on here stays

In the family

Well our clothes weren't new

That old car was used

But we held our own

Whoa you just can't buy

That sense of pride

We grew up on in the family

I remember every Sunday night

After supper round the firelight

How peaceful daddy looked

As he read the good book

In the family

Some folks said we were barely making do

We were better off than they ever knew

We never had much but we sure had love

In the family

Well our clothes weren't new

That old car was used

But we held our own

Whoa you just can't buy

That sense of pride

We grew up on in the family
