Me, my wife, and my kids.
Story behind the song
Raised on the farm, where the food is better eatin'!
Lyrics
One Big Happy Family
Copyright 2010 Kevin Miller
Verse 1
My grand pappy told me,
When I was just knee high.
Go and make your fortune boy,
Now spread your wings and fly.
I went to N.Y. City,
But I liked to pull my hair.
So I came back to the old home place,
To raise my family there.
Chorus:
Now wea€™re one big happy family,
Living on the land.
Raise them cows and chickens,
Shuckina€™ corn by hand.
We aint got no money,
I hope youa€™ll understand.
Wea€™re just one big happy family, living on the land.
Verse 2
Farming isna€™t easy,
You work hard every day.
But the food is better eatina€™,
And you dona€™t have to pay.
Got biscuits in the oven,
Gravy on the sidea€¦
We still eat poke sallet,
And we like our chicken fried.
Chorusa€¦
Verse 3
Now the tax man and the bankers,
Dona€™t come around here much.
We live too far up river,
Therea€™s dogs and guns and such.
But for a hungry pilgrim,
Wea€™ll gladly lend a hand.
Wea€™re just one big happy family,
Living on the land.
Chorusa€¦
