Chris Young - White Lightning Hit the Family Tree lyrics
[Chris Young - White Lightning Hit the Family Tree lyrics]
It was the thirty-first gathering of the
Thompsons, Joneses, and Smiths
There were tables full of chicken
Taters, collard greens, and grit's
Well it all took place at
Hatie Lake State Park
Volleyball, fishin', badmitton, yard darts
Aunt Irene said she'd never seen
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 draggin' along
I saw Uncle Gene comin' back from his car
With somethin' clear as water in a mason jar
The lemonade got hearty and, Lordy
The party was on
That ol' boom box got louder and louder
Actin' civilzed didn't seem to matter
Everybody got to showin' their
Hiney includin' me
Lord I'd never known Granny to take her a sip
But the words were a slurrin'
Comin' off of her lips and it dawned on me
White lightnin' hit the family tree
Well cousin Johnny was a gator
Jimmy was a UT fan and that football talk
Was quickly gettin out of hand
Granny told Uncle Dave that
She hated his guts
Got right up in his face said
Your whole famn damily's nuts
Chicken legs got to flyin'
And the whoop started hittin' the fan
Yeah, that ol' boom box got louder and louder
Actin' civilzed didn't seem to matter
Everybody got to showin' their
Hiney includin' me
Lord I'd never known Granny to take her a sip
But the words were a slurrin'
Comin' off of her lips and it dawned on me
White lightnin' 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 quit's while there's
Still a little love
Yeah I've never known Granny to
Take her a sip but the words were a slurrin'
Comin' off of her lips and it dawned on me
White lightnin' hit the family tree
Yeah it dawned on me
White lightnin' hit the family tree
Aw, but they had a good time now
Take it home ya'll
Thompsons, Joneses, and Smiths
There were tables full of chicken
Taters, collard greens, and grit's
Well it all took place at
Hatie Lake State Park
Volleyball, fishin', badmitton, yard darts
Aunt Irene said she'd never seen
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 draggin' along
I saw Uncle Gene comin' back from his car
With somethin' clear as water in a mason jar
The lemonade got hearty and, Lordy
The party was on
That ol' boom box got louder and louder
Actin' civilzed didn't seem to matter

Lord I'd never known Granny to take her a sip
But the words were a slurrin'
