If Family Meant Nothing

I get asked about 11 times a day
If I'd go or if I'd stay
In the town that I grew up in
And I've felt the sunny weather in LA
Walked the beaches out in Spain
But there's always something missing

Oh if family meant nothing, I'd be walking out that door
And I've tried to leave but I keep coming back
And I've said it to myself, I'd do better somewhere else
But I always seem to change my mind on that

I've got friends who say they never wanna leave
And some others who believe
If you stay here you'll go nowhere
And I've told them that I have all that I need
But there always seems to be
A little doubt inside me somewhere

Oh if family meant nothing, I'd be walking out that door
And I've tried to leave but I keep coming back
And I've said it to myself, I'd do better somewhere else
But I always seem to change my mind on that

There's a part of me that wants to see the world
Move to London with my girl
But I'm scared that I'll regret it
Cause there's something bout' the people that you know
They were there to watch you grow
And I'd miss them, I admit it

But if family meant nothing, what the hell am I here for
I would try to take them with me if I could
But there's something kind of special bout' the thought of coming home
Coz I always seem to miss it when I'm gone
And I know that I'll be back before too long
