| Sister smoked all the Camels in the county last week
|
| She cleaned out the 7-Eleven, sneakin' in, smellin' like nicotine
|
| Mama’s burning chicken for the Tupperware party tonight
|
| Daddy’s asleep in his chair, the TV’s blaring the stats for half time
|
| (Whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
|
| Well, life can get real funny
|
| (Whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
|
| We got more love than we got money
|
| Some swing a little higher, some’ll just hang low
|
| A few of us are on fire to get out, and some just wanna stay home
|
| But it don’t matter, 'cause the roots run deep
|
| And ain’t nothing gonna shake our family tree
|
| Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
|
| (Ba la la bum, ba la la, da)
|
| Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
|
| Gramma sold her Maytag dryer to post my uncle’s bail
|
| He’ll be hanging her laundry till there’s a snow storm in hell
|
| Me and my cousins, like to take a Sunday drive
|
| And roll one up before pot luck lunch and get high school high
|
| (Whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
|
| Well, life can get real funny
|
| (Whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
|
| We got more love than we got money
|
| Some swing a little higher, some’ll just hang low
|
| A few of us are on fire to get out, and some just wanna stay home
|
| But it don’t matter, 'cause the roots run deep
|
| And ain’t nothing gonna shake our family tree
|
| And ain’t nothing gonna shake our family tree, ooh
|
| Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
|
| (Ba la la bum, ba la la, da)
|
| Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
|
| Some of us got problems, but everybody’s alright
|
| Some of us got big plans, some are just plannin' on gettin' by
|
| Some of us got problems, but they love us anyway
|
| Through thick and thin, hell, we’re still kin at the end of the day
|
| Some swing a little higher, some’ll just hang low
|
| A few of us are on fire to get out, and some just wanna stay home
|
| But it don’t matter, 'cause the roots run deep
|
| And ain’t nothing gonna shake our family tree
|
| And ain’t nothing gonna shake our family tree
|
| Oh, whoa, life can get real funny
|
| Ooh, we got more love than we got money
|
| (And ain’t nothing gonna shake our family tree) You don’t make it, ooh
|
| Whoa, whoa, oh, oh (oh the roots run deep)
|
| Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
|
| Ain’t nothing, ain’t nothing gonna shake
|
| (And ain’t nothing gonna shake our family tree) Our family tree |
