Family Portrait - Billy Lee Riley

Isn’t that your brother sitting on some girl’s last name?

Isn’t that your mother plucking on a sugarcane?

Isn’t that your sister walking in the pouring rain?

Isn’t that your father over there cheating in a poker game?

That’s your family portrait

Family portrait!

And they say that I ain’t good enough for you

Heard about your uncle, he doing five to ten

And your granny drinks her milk with-a something added in

What’s this about your cousin sneaking out of town again?

And your grandpa deep in debt and the pony that-a just don’t win

That’s your family portrait

Family portrait!

And they say that I ain’t good enough for you

They want you to marry a rich boy

So they can all hang on

And since your daughter objected

I guess I don’t belong

In your family portrait

Family portrait!

And they say that I ain’t good enough for you
