Family Tree
Mama taught me early on when Christmas came around
How to decorate the family tree and what it was really all about
It was lots of love, the Lord and family
Said if you want to know what Christmas means to me
It's those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to '93
And once a year we'd pull 'em out watching Macy's playing on TV and
We'd dress it up with lights and life's long memories
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
And we'd thank Him for the years before and a couple more
Around the family tree
Last night I sat on the floor, just me and the kids
Staring at the times we had and all of the things we did
Scattered 'round the branches of that tree
Then I told them what my mama said to me
That those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to '93
And once a year we'd pull 'em out watching Macy's playing on TV and
We'd dress it up with lights and life's long memories
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
And we'd thank Him for the years before and a couple more
Around the family tree
Yeah, if the good Lord called and granted me one wish
It'd be to let 'em see the day my great-great-grandkids
Find those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to '93
And once a year we'd pull 'em out watching Macy's playing on TV and
We'd dress it up with lights and life's long memories
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
And we'd thank Him for the years before and a couple more
Around the family tree
How to decorate the family tree and what it was really all about
It was lots of love, the Lord and family
Said if you want to know what Christmas means to me
It's those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to '93
And once a year we'd pull 'em out watching Macy's playing on TV and
We'd dress it up with lights and life's long memories
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
And we'd thank Him for the years before and a couple more
Around the family tree
Last night I sat on the floor, just me and the kids
Staring at the times we had and all of the things we did
Scattered 'round the branches of that tree
Then I told them what my mama said to me
That those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to '93
And once a year we'd pull 'em out watching Macy's playing on TV and
We'd dress it up with lights and life's long memories
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
And we'd thank Him for the years before and a couple more
Around the family tree
Yeah, if the good Lord called and granted me one wish
It'd be to let 'em see the day my great-great-grandkids
Find those boxes stuffed up in the loft dating back to '93
And once a year we'd pull 'em out watching Macy's playing on TV and
We'd dress it up with lights and life's long memories
With a star on top to praise the man who made it be
And we'd thank Him for the years before and a couple more
Around the family tree
