White Lightning Hit the Family Tree

It was the thirty first 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 thisWell, 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 onThat ol' boom box got louder and louder

Actin' civilzed didn't seem to matter

Everybody got to showin' their honey includin' meLord, 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 treeWell, cousin Johnny was a gator, Jimmy was a UT fan

And that football talk was quickly gettin' out of hand

And 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 fanYeah, that ol' boom box got louder and louder

Actin' civilzed didn't seem to matter

Everybody got to showin' their honey includin' meLord, 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 treeWell, 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 loveYeah, 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 treeOhh, that day we had a good time, man

Take it home, yo
