3 Is Family - Dana Dawson

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

I remember when I was three Cried to my momma scared that death was out to get me Up on the counter she dried my tears Said, "Don't you worry, when it comes you will be ready" When things get a bit too heavy Then I tell myself The world can also be so pretty I know it can drive you crazy Try to baby Save your troubles for another day Stop and smell the flowers baby Give yourself some time and you'll see everything It'll be alright Crossing bridges Before I get there Somehow the sweetest things they always turn to bitter On a good day I count the hours The skies are blue But I know soon enough they'll pour People think I get too heavy Yeah they always say... The world can also be so pretty I know it can drive you crazy Try to baby Save your troubles for another day Stop and smell the flowers baby Give yourself some time and you'll see everything It'll be alright Give yourself some time and you'll see everything Give yourself some time and you'll see everything it'll be alright
