My telephone wakes me in the morning. Have to get up to answer the call,

So I think I'll go back to the family, where no one can ring me at all.

Living this life has its problems, so I think that I'll give it a break.
Oh, I'm going back to the family, 'cause I've had about all I can take.

Hm D E                               D
   Master's in the counting house, counting all his money.

Sister's sitting by the mirror, she thinks her hair looksfunny.

And here am I thinking to myself, just a-wondering what it pays to do.

I think I enjoyed all my problems, where I did not get nothing for free.

Oh, I'm going back to the family, doing nothing is bothering me

I'll get a train back to the city.  The soft life is getting me down.
There's more fun away from the family, get some action when I roll into town.

Hm D E                       D
   Everything I do is wrong. What the hell was I thinking?
E                                 D
Phone keeps ringing all day long, I got no time for thinking.
A                     C                     D                     E
And every day has the same old way, they're giving me too much to do.
