One of my new favorites of theirs. There are lots of walk-ups and walk-downs in this song. INTRO: well they let Bubba out of prison, well he paid for his crime He didn't know them bad checks could get him so much time And sister's getting married, well there's a shotgun on the groom I hope they finish the weddings vows before the baby's due And Harry's in the closet, well he's been there all his life And everybody wonders why he never took a wife And we owe a lot of bills and try to live beyond our meals We ain't got a pot, but we've got cable TV But it's our family full of skeletons and ghosts And even with our strange relatives it's the one we love the most There may be a bunch of nuts up our family tree Yeah and we may all be crazy, but it's still our family INTRO Grandpa got a girlfriend, a woman half his age Grandma laughs about it but I sense a silent rage And Uncle Bert still thinks he's on the Grand Ole Opery Well that fever from the war left him livin' in a dream (key change to ) Well we burried great Aunt Martha out at Forest Lawn today Now I think I know why they called Great Aunt Martha great The church was full of strange men, Mama called it a disgrace She said they should have wiped that smile off of Great Aunt Martha's face CHORUS: But it's our family full of skeletons and ghosts And even with our strange relatives it's the one we love the most There may be a bunch of nuts up our family tree Yeah and we may all be crazy but it's still our family OUTRO:
