Family Tree

Sunday afternoon church potluck

George Jones blaring from my Grandpa's truck

Granny's fried chicken and her sweet tea

Now that's a bittersweet memory

The ol' tire swing where my little boys play

Well that was me only yesterday

Doing double back flips off a branch in the tank

Kissin' on you and fishing from the bank

We've had some good times, got through the bad times

The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times

Strong as an oak, solid as a hickory

That's the love made in the shade of our family tree

Passed down from my Granny and my Grandpa

Mom and Dad kept it safe kept it sturdy and tall

Summers were hot winters were long

But our roots were deep and our faith was strong

Now some are gone and some are all grown

You and me baby branched out on our own

With every sunset comes another sunrise

I can see my Daddy in our little boy's eyes

We've had some good times, got through the bad times

The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times

Strong as an oak, solid as a hickory

That's the love made in the shade of our family tree

We've lost loved ones throughout the years

Remember their smiles and dry those tears

Cause they live on in your heart and mine

So let love grow like a kudzu vine

We've had some good times, got through the bad times

The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times

Strong as an oak, solid as a hickory

That's the love made in the shade of our family tree

Made in the shade of our family tree

Sunday afternoon church potluck

George Jones blaring from my Grandpa's truck

A family that prays together is a family that stays together

Love the Lord thy God and Savior with all your heart and love thy neighbor

A family that prays together is a family that stays together

Love the Lord thy God and Savior with all your heart and love thy neighbor
