Family Man Lyrics

I've been working as a temp
At the local factory
I hope they hire me on full time
I've got shoes to buy and a mouth to feed

I drive a buy here, pay here truck
It ain't new, but it is to me
It ain't much, but it fires right up
And gets me from A to B

What puts the dirt underneath my nails?
What keeps the calluses on my hands?
Family man

They're the world my world revolves around
My sacred piece of solid ground
The flesh and bone
That gives me strength to stand

They are the fire in my drivin' on
The drive behind my comin' home
The livin', breathin', reason that I am
A family man

There's dirty shirts to wash
Dishes in the sink to do
And there's how many times
Does 17 go into 52?

There's bedtime prayers to pray
Sleep tights and I love you's
And then there's a pair of eyes
I get to lose myself into

What keeps me keepin' the faith?
What makes me believe I can?
Family man

They're the world my world revolves around
My sacred piece of solid ground
The flesh and bone
That gives me strength to stand

They are the fire in my drivin' on
The drive behind my comin' home
The livin', breathin', reason that I am
A family man

They're the fire in my drivin' on
The drive behind my comin' home
The livin', breathin', reason that I am
A family man, a family man

The Family Man Songfacts says that Georgian native Craig Campbell had already been playing piano at his mother's church since the age of 10 when he formed his band called Out of the Blue. In 2002 Campbell moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he landed a steady gig at The Stage, one of the biggest clubs in the city's famed Lower Broadway and recorded demo sessions for other singers. After meeting and befriending fellow Georgian Luke Bryan, Campbell was persuaded to start writing his own songs. Record producer Keith Stegall caught one of Campbell's performances at The Stage in 2008 and signed him to his Bigger Picture Music Group. He eventually released his debut single, Family Man in late 2010, which slowly built up radio plays and sales before finally debuting at #86 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of April 9, 2011. The song was included on Campbell's self-titled debut album, which was produced by Steggall and released on April 5, 2011. Read more on Last.fm.
