White Lightning Hit The Family Tree

歌詞

It was the thirty-first gathering of the Thompsons Jones and Smiths There were tables full of chicken taters collard greens and grits Well it all took place at Hatie Lake State Park Volleyball fishin badminton yard darts Aunt Irene said she'd never seens a turnout like this Well it started with hand shakes and Lordy how the babies have grown As the sun got hotter the day got to dragging along I saw Uncle Gene coming back from his car With something clear as water in a mason jar The lemonade got hearty and Lord the party was on That ol' boom box got louder and louder Acting civilized didn't seem to matter Everybody got to showing their hiney including me Lord I'd never known Granny to take her a sip But the words were slurring coming offa her lips And it dawned on me white lightning hit the family tree Well cousin Johnny was a Gator Jimmy was a UT fan And that football talk was quickly getting out of hand Granny told Uncle Dave that she hated his guts Got right up in his face said your whole fam damily's nuts Chicken legs got to flying and the whoop started hitting the fan That ol' boom box got louder and louder Acting civilized didn't seem to matter Everybody got to showing their hiney including me Lord I'd never known Granny to take her a sip But the words were slurring coming offa her lips And it dawned on me white lightning hit the family tree That ol' park ranger jumped out of his car Said listen here folks it's gone a little too far Tear it all down pack it all up Call it quits while there's still a little love Yeah I'd never known Granny to take her a sip But the words were slurring coming offa her lips And it dawned on me white lightning hit the family tree Yeah it dawned on me white lightning hit the family tree Oh but they had a good time man Take it on ya'll
