The Family

Sister Susan, by the time she was four

She could climb up just about any tree

From the highway you could see our house

She would look out as the cars drove past

And the family was always glad you came

Said the family was always glad you came

We played football on the gravel drive

I would take it long overtime

West Virginia, the stakes were high

The ball would fly through the sky, so bright

And the family was always glad you came

Said the family was always glad you came

We may never pass this way again

But I'll never let you down, no

I'll always let you in

I'll never let you down, no

I'll always let you in

And the family was always glad you came

Joseph Leon was taken first

Mama, you know she lost her mind

It was mercy that held them close

And it was mercy that left us behind

And the family was always glad you came

Said the family was always glad you came

It was mercy, it was mercy

It was mercy, it was mercy

It was mercy, it was mercy
