"Family Full Of Soul" lyrics

Papa Johnny find glass, giving eggs away
In a state of depression now, he'll put hens to lay
Mama cried when my papa spent all the rent money on a ring
He lives for today
Makes me happy just to say

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from
Family full of soul and that's how I know where I got it from
Got what you need and now I know where I got it from
Family full of soul and that's how I know where I got it from

Uncle owned a store, ate black-eyed peas every day
'Til he hit the big time, y'all, then he moved away
Now he longs for summer in the city of little Jollyville
He lives for today
Makes me happy just to say

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from
Family full of soul, and that's how I know where I got it from
Got what you need and now I know where I got it from
Family full of soul, and that's how I know where I got it from

When I think about my life, how I live today
I wonder if I can go on singin' my blues this way
Papa Johnny told me, "Girl, you know you got to sing the blues"
He lives for today
Makes me happy just to say

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from
Family full of soul, and that's how I know where I got it from
Got what you need and now I know where I got it from
Family full of soul, and that's how I know where I got it from
