Family Man Lyrics by Andrew Peterson

Love and Thunder

2003

[Verse 1]
I am a family man
I traded in my Mustang for a minivan
This is not what I was headed for when I began
This was not my plan
I am a family man
[Chorus]
But everything I had to lose
Came back a thousand times in you
And you fill me up with love
Fill me up with love
And you help me stand
'Cause I am a family man
[Verse 2]
And life is good
It's something I always knew
But I just never understood
If you'd asked me then you know I'd say I never would
Settle down in a neighborhood
I never thought I could
[Chorus]
But I don't remember anymore
Who I even was before
You filled me up with love
Filled me up with love
And you help me stand
[Bridge]
So come on with the thunder clouds
Let the cold winds rail against us, let the rain come down
We can build a roof above us with the love we've found
We can stand our ground
So let the rain come down
[Chorus]
Because love binds up what breaks in two
So keep my heart so close to you
And I'll fill you up with love
Fill you up with love
And I'll help you stand
'Cause I am a family man
[Verse 3]
I'm saving my vacation time for Disneyland
This is not what I was headed for when I began
This was not my plan
It's so much better than
So much better than
'Cause I am a family man (Mmm-mmm)
