Kacey Musgraves - Family Is Family lyrics

They're there for your first year
They give you your first beer
When you get your heart broke
They're there for your worst year
Don't get you at all
But your apple don't fall too far from 'em
They own too much wicker and
Drink too much liquor
You'd wash your hands of them
But blood's always thicker
You might look just like 'em that
Don't mean you're like 'em but you love 'em

Family is family, in church or in prison
You get what you get
And you don't get to pick 'em
They might smoke like chimneys
But give you their kidneys
Yeah, friends come in handy
But family is family

They're there when you're married
Divorced and remarried
You fall out of touch
But then someone gets buried
And you're right back together like no
Time has ever gone by
Can't live with or without 'em
You might talk about 'em
But if someone else does, well
Then you'll knock 'em out 'cause
When it's all said and done
They're the only ones that you got

Family is family, in church or in prison
You get what you get
And you don't get to pick 'em
They might smoke like chimneys
But give you their kidneys
Yeah, friends come in handy
But family is family

Yeah, family is funny
They'll ask you for money
Even though they know you ain't got no money
They show up at Christmas
Get up in your business
They might not be fancy, but family is family

You might look just like 'em that
Don't mean you're like 'em but you love 'em
