Family Lyrics

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

Well 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 'em my whole life
And they still amaze me
I didn't choose 'em
But I'd hate to loose 'em
Cause you gotta love 'em
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
In the city, just flew in All the way from way out yonder
We're still not sure about him
But different as we are it's good to be
a family

A few new babies, the same old crazies
I've known 'em my whole life
And they still amaze me
I didn't choose 'em
Wouldn't wanna lose 'em
But you gotta love 'em
Man, they're family

When mama said the blessing
She was fightin back the tears
Cause the last time we were all together
Grandpa was here
And 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 'em my whole life
And they still amaze me
Don't get to choose 'em
But you hate to lose 'em
You gotta love 'em
Cause they're your family

Family reunion, 4th of July
It's been three years since I've seen them
Now I remember why
