White Lightning Hit The Family Tree Lyrics - Chris Young - Chris Young

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 

Photos 

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 

Aw, but they had a good time now 

Take it home ya'll
