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
Every time
In 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 won't)
I'll always let you in
I'll never let you down (no I won't)
I'll always let you in
The family
Was always
Glad you came
Joseph Leon was taken first
Mama Enid she lost her mind
It was mercy that held them close
And it was mercy that left us behind
The family
Was always
Glad you came
Said the family
Was always
Glad you came
Endless mercy
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Endless mercy
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
Every time
In 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 won't)
I'll always let you in
I'll never let you down (no I won't)
I'll always let you in
The family
Was always
Glad you came
Joseph Leon was taken first
Mama Enid she lost her mind
It was mercy that held them close
And it was mercy that left us behind
The family
Was always
Glad you came
Said the family
Was always
Glad you came
Endless mercy
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Endless mercy
