YOUNG CHRIS - White Lightning Hit The Family Tree lyrics

It was the thirtyfirst gathering of the

Thompsons, Joneses, and Smiths

There were tables full of chicken

Taters, collard greens, and grits

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 quits 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
