Big Family
[Verse 1]
It's bunk beds and matchin’ sheets
Sharin' the bathroom sink
Fist fightin' over window seats all the way to KOA
It’s more cousins than we have friends
A piggyback pyramid to fit us all in
And squintin' through a Polaroid lens on Thanksgiving Day
[Pre-Chorus]
We learned how to ration apple pie
And how to dirty dance when Aunt Tina had too much wine
[Chorus]
It's all husbands and ex-wives and boyfriends and pink lines
And the word of God according to who's preachin' in the living room
It's secrets and suppers
Lookin' more like your mother
All in a little house in a little town
But ain't nothin’ small about big family
[Verse 2]
It’s "Hurry up and wait your turn" and
Eat it all even if it's burned
It don’t take too long to learn that the world don't revolve around you
We're a picture frame patchwork
Roots tangled in the same dirt
Little baggage, little hard work
It's all worth its weight
[Chorus]
In husbands and ex-wives and boyfriends and pink lines
And the word of God according to who’s preachin' in the living room
It's secrets and suppers
Lookin' more like your mother
All in a little house in a little town
But ain't nothing small about big family
Ooh, big family
[Chorus 2]
We're thick-skinned and stubborn
'Til the day we're six feet under
It's the word of God according to who's preachin' in the living room
It's secrets and suppers
Lookin' more like your mother
All in a little house in a little town
But ain't nothin' small about big family
Ooh, big family, yeah
[Outro]
