Rodney Atkins - Family Lyrics
Family reunion, 4th of JulyIt's been three years since I've seen themNow I remember whyAunt Charlotte's at the door, big smile on her faceThe first thing she says to meLooks like you've gained some weightYou only get that kind of honesty from familyUncle Joe's getting plasteredAunt Martha's getting madSame old cousin DougSame old jokes, same old badMama has to keep reminding meSon, they're familyA few new babies, the same old craziesI've known them my whole life and they still amaze meI didn't choose 'em, but I'd hate to lose 'emCause ya gotta love them, They're familyCousin Linda showed up with her new sweetheartI had to laugh when daddy whispered, Fifth time might be the charmAnd there's her brother Lester, Linda said he just flew inAll the way from way out yonderWe're all still not to sure about himBut different as we all areIt's good to be familyA few new babies, the same old craziesI've known them my whole life and they still amaze meI didn't choose 'em, but I'd hate to lose; emCause ya gotta love them, man they're familyWhen mama said the blessing she was fighting back tearsCause the last time we were all together Grandpa was hereShe knew how proud he'd be and how much he'd love to seeA few new babies, the same old craziesI've known them my whole life and they still amaze meDon't get to choose 'em, but you hate to lose 'emYou gotta love 'em their familyFamily reunion 4th of JulyIt's been three years since I've seen themNow I remember why
