Our Family - The Bellamy Brothers

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 Ann-Martha

Out the forest lawns today

Now I think I know why

They Called Great Ann-Martha great

The church was full of strange men

Mama called it a disgrace

She said they should have wiped that

Smile off Great Ann-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
