Family
Family reunion, Fourth of July
It's been three years since I've seen
Now I remember why
Aunt Charlotte's at the door, big smile on her face
The first thing she says to me
It looks like you've gained some weight
You only get that kind of honesty from family
Well, uncle Joe is getting plastic, Aunt Martha's getting mad
Same old cousin Dug, same old jokes, same old bed
Mama has to keep reminding me
Son, they're family
A few new babies, the some old crazies
I've known them my whole life and they still amaze me
I didn't choose them but I'd hate to lose them
'Cause you 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 [Incomprehensible]
We're still not sure about him
But different as we are, it's good to be a family
A few new babies, the some old crazies
I've known them my whole life and they still amaze me
I didn't choose them, wouldn't wanna lose them
But you gotta love them when they're family
When mama said the blessing, she was fighting 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 some old crazies
I've known them my whole life and they still amaze me
Don't get to choose them but you hate to lose them
You gotta love them 'cause they're your family
