Bellamy Brothers - Our Family Lyrics lyrics

rate me

They let Bubba out of prison

He paid for his crime

He didn't know them bad cheques

Could give him so much time.

Sister's getting married

There's a shotgun on the groom

Hope they finish the wedding vows

Before the baby's due.

Harry's in the closet

He's been there all his life

Everybody wonders

Why he never took a wife.

We owe a lot of bills

Trying to live beyond our means

Ain't got a pot,

But we got cable TV.

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, we may all be crazy

But it's still our family.

Grandpa's got a girlfriend

A woman half his age

Grandma laughs about it

But I sense the silent rage.

And Uncle Burt still thinks

He's on the grand old armoury

That fever from the war

Left him living in a dream.

We buried great aunt Martha

Out the forest lawns 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 great aunt Marthas 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, we may all be crazy

But its still our family...
