"Welcome To The Family" lyrics

"Welcome To The Family"

You know I wish that it was different
And you know that I can't stay
But it called on me when I turned 18
Long before you came my way
Here's some money for some groceries
I heard my brother's back in jail
And when I get back I should have some cash
Don't worry about the bail

My grandma's in the hospital
She must've had another fall
And my mom's been cryin' 'cause she's scared she's dyin'
That's what she told me when she called
She said my dad is doin' better
Though his heart is on the line
Oh he's just like me and every other Green
We're all runnin' out of time

My sister's down in Corpus
With a guy that she met
No I'm not afraid Lord he seems okay
She's gotta wedding in her head

So goodbye my darlin', oh goodbye my sweet
I'll be missin' you and I'll be home soon
Welcome to the family
I'll be missin' you and I'll be home soon
Welcome to the family
