"One Big Happy Sad Family" lyrics

Cancer, it got daddy
Billy's lost his mind
Jenny lost a baby while her boyfriend's doing time
Cousin's selling something down at the church of Christ
He don't work on Sundays 'cause his momma raised him right

Doing what we gotta do to make it
Anything to keep from going crazy

Dance in the flames when the barn's on fire
Praying for rain while the coyotes weep
Somewhere between those all-nighters
And trying to get some sleep
We're a bed of flowers six-feet deep
Laughing through our misery
Just one big, happy, sad family

Sarah's cutting hair now, since her DUI
Granny's on her last leg since her good boy said goodbye
Nephew found a needle, it cost him his full ride
He's in and out of rehab, but at least he's still alive

Dance in the flames when the barn's on fire
Praying for rain while the coyotes weep
Somewhere between those all-nighters
And trying to get some sleep
We're a bed of flowers six-feet deep
Laughing through our misery
Just one big, happy, sad family

Doing what we gotta do to make it
Anything to keep from going crazy

Dance in the flames when the barn's on fire
Praying for rain while the coyotes weep
Somewhere between those all-nighters
And trying to get some sleep
We're a bed of flowers six-feet deep
Laughing through our misery
Just one big, happy, sad family
Just one big, happy, sad family
