Family Tree

[Verse] An Old oak standing tall It's Branches wide and free His Tale of sorrow takes root Through his chains and history [Verse 2] Maxwell was his name His life a tale of loss and pain Once a lawman, Now he's free A noose tied round his neck again [Chorus] Oh the Gallows family tree With a noose tied up But two kids not quite free Jason and Olivia That's who it'll be Watching their father swing From the family tree [Verse 3] A black steel six gun by his side With white inlays As bright as day His holster weighed down by his pride Sending men to the Lord as they pray [Chorus] Oh the Gallows family tree With a noose tied up But two kids now set free Jason and Olivia That's who it'll be Watching their father swing From the family tree [Verse 4] His wife dead long ago her cross nailed with 3 short dings His heart yearning for her below Through the tree, Her memory rings His mind filled by the pain Their Love in spite of his chains [Chorus] Oh the Gallows family tree With a noose tied up But two kids running free Jason and Olivia That's who it'll be Watching their father swing From the family tree [Verse 5] Trying to change for the better now that he felt stuck Became a doctor in town Saved some folk from the muck Met a lady called Bonnie who didn't give a fuck bout who he was before and he felt that twang a luck [Chorus] Oh the Gallows family tree With a noose tied up But two kids finally free Jason and Olivia That's who it'll be Watching their father swing From the family tree [outro] That's right Jason and Olivia that's who it'll be watching their father rest under the family tree the family tree
