(Doug Crider/Matt Rollings)

There Was A Maple Tree In Our Front Yard
When I Was Growin Up, I'd Climb Up To The Top
And Watch My Brother Trading Baseball Cards
My Daddy Pulling Weeds, Mother Callin Me
I Was Hiding In The Leaves

And The World Looked Fine As Fas As I Could See
From The Top Of The Family Tree
A Hundred Branches Growing 'round Me
Way Up There In The Family Tree

When I Was Seventeen, I Left That Town
My Life Was Right On Track, I Never Once Looked Back
I Was So Sure That I Was Glory Bound
I Gave It All I Had And When It All Went Bad
Got A Phone Call From My Dad

And The World Looked Fine As Fas As I Could See
From The Top Of The Family Tree
A Hundred Branches Growing 'round Me
Way Up There In The Family Tree

Now I'm Older And My Husband Laughs At Me
I'm Building Houses For The Kids Up In A Tree

And The World Looks Fine As Fas As I Can See
From The Top Of The Family Tree
A Hundred Branches Growing 'round Me
Way Up Here In The Family Tree
