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

Kacey Musgraves (born August 21, 1988) is an American country artist from Golden, Texas. Kacey began singing publicly at 8-years-old and wrote her first song at 9-years-old. With a self-released album under her belt, she moved to Austin in 2008, where she was discovered by independent record label Triple Pop, for whom she recorded two songs, Apologize and See You Again.

In 2012, she signed with Mercury Records and released her solo debut single Merry Go 'Round. The song is included on her album "Same Trailer Different Park", which was produced and co-written by Shane McAnally and Luke Laird and released on March 19, 2013.
