About Second Family

This song was jumpstarted by a Walrus Thanksgiving dinner in the past millenium, where many friends gathered to share a meal and give thanks, as in the first. That mood was much the same as I had felt so many nights while performing for audiences throughout my life. The performer is nothing without a good audience, and I have had the best. For that, I am very grateful. This song is for you.

—Joe Young

Second Family

I've been around, I've had some ups & downs
So many nights, so many lonely towns,
I get a feelin right here, like I never have found
Like I've got nothin to fear...

You're my second family, You're my gravity
I'm as proud as I can be, Your my second family.

I've got to say, I've never had such Friends
Aint this a night, I hope it never ends
I got a feelin right now, I know you're feelin it too
I wanna shout it out loud.

You're my second family, you're my sanity
I'm as proud as I can be, You're my second family.

So rock n roll, sometimes the blues don't care
And listen to.., the voices in the air
We watched the change of the guard, we shared our holiday rum
Your laughter is my reward.

You're my second family, my humanity
I'm as proud as I can be, You're my second family.
You're my second family, You're my gravity
I'm as proud as I can be, You're my second family.

—Joe Young
