Family

Family reunion, 4th of July

It's been three years since I've seen them

Now I remember why

Aunt Charlotte's at the door, big smile on her face

The first thing she says to me

Looks like you've gained some weight

You only get that kind of honesty from family

Uncle Joe's getting plastered

Aunt Martha's getting mad

Same old cousin Doug

Same old jokes, same old bad

Mama has to keep reminding me

Son, they're family



A few new babies, the same old crazies

I've known them my whole life and they still amaze me

I didn't choose 'em, but I'd hate to lose 'em

Cause ya gotta love them, They're family



Cousin Linda showed up with her new sweetheart

I had to laugh when daddy whispered, Fifth time might be the charm

And there's her brother Lester, Linda said he just flew in

All the way from way out yonder

We're all still not to sure about him

But different as we all are

It's good to be family



A few new babies, the same old crazies

I've known them my whole life and they still amaze me

I didn't choose 'em, but I'd hate to lose; em

Cause ya gotta love them, man they're family



When mama said the blessing she was fighting back tears

Cause the last time we were all together Grandpa was here

She knew how proud he'd be and how much he'd love to see



A few new babies, the same old crazies

I've known them my whole life and they still amaze me

Don't get to choose 'em, but you hate to lose 'em

You gotta love 'em their family
