family tree & the end of time

i was born into my family's tree without a nickle nor a dime. they taught me about life and love they taught me about doing right. i was told there's more to life than this this is what i'm tryin' to recollect maybe it's the drag of everyday life maybe it was the she hung it over me like a knife. my family's tree no it ain't that big. my family's tree lord, is torn and ragged from dreams to come and to not from lost souls to ones who found homes. i was born into my family's tree without a nickle nor a dime now i'm stuck on this county line til the very lonesome end of time...
