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
