Story behind the song
This was first sung at my Dad's memorial service in 2008
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Mom's baking pies on a woodstove on the porch Dad's out chopping wood hey, that's what boys are for Grab that billy goat take him for a ride Don't watch TV go and play outside don't you know [PreChorus] Love is for the taking don't you know A family is just what you make it [Chorus] I'm not crazy though some could argue This family's just like a can of mixed nuts We're still family and that's all that matters Love is the spark that started this family [Verse 2] There's lots of space and lots of things to do Like one-man soccer with a basketball or two Grabbing that wheelbarrow ride it down the hill Just like a unicycle boy it's quite a thrill don't you know [PreChorus] Love is for the taking don't you know A family is just what you make it [Chorus] I'm not crazy though some could argue This family's just like a can of mixed nuts We're still family and that's all that matters Love is the spark that started this family [Bridge] Being a family sure has its scrapes and bumps But being loved is definitely worth the risk of lumps Hey I love you warts and ticks and all Let's be family and we can have a ball don't you know [PreChorus] Love is for the taking don't you know A family is just what you make it [Chorus] I'm not crazy though some could argue This family's just like a can of mixed nuts We're still family and that's all that matters Love is the spark that started this family This family This family
