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.



Master's in the counting house

Counting all his money.

Sister's sitting by the mirror 

She thinks her hair looks funny.



And here am I thinking to myself

Just wondering what things to do.



I think I enjoyed all my problems

Where didn't I 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

That soft life is getting me down.

There's more fun away from the family

Get some action when I pull into town.



Everything I do is wrong,

What the hell was I thinking?

Phone keeps ringing all day long

I got no time for thinking.



And every day has the same old way

Of giving me too much to do.
