I'm my own god damn Grandpa

Start

Somebody’s yellin’ from the kitchen again

Grandpa’s grinnin’ with his feet on the stove

Cousin with a flask and a mystery friend

A jumble of secrets nobody knows

Sister’s got stories she’ll never confess

Old photo albums tossed on the floor

Arguments break out about who’s a guest

Been a circus ever since I came through the door

Pre-Chorus

Auntie said come on, don’t stress your mind

But I can’t tell whose kid’s whose half the time

Start

Sun comin’ up as the party fades

Grandma cussin’ that we’re all insane

Uncle’s pouring whiskey in the lemonade

Talkin’ ‘bout how we all share the blame

Baby cousins runnin’ wild in the yard

Mama’s on the porch lighting a smoke

Whole family laugh when they see my scars

From fallin’ in love with a messed-up joke

Pre-Chorus

Auntie said come on, don’t stress your mind

But I can’t tell whose kid’s whose half the time[Start]

Walked in the door with a six-pack in hand

People starin' like I broke the law

Saw my mama sittin' next to her ex

He waved and said hey to my pa

Aunt Martha dancin', messin' up her shoes

Shoutin' stories I can't recall

All my relations confused as hell

Can't point out who’s who at all

Pre-Chorus

Auntie said come on, don’t stress your mind

But I can’t tell whose kid’s whose half the time[Chorus]

I'm my own god damn grandpa

Sittin' here tryin' to work it out

Family tree got tangled somewhere

Now I'm lost in what it's all about

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, can't explain it

Oh oh, how we made it

Verse 2

Brought to the cookout, met my second wife

Turns out she once dated my pa

Uncle Joe’s your cousin, or maybe he’s my son

No matter how I run, it’s bizarre

Pre-Chorus

Auntie said come on, don’t stress your mind

But I can’t tell whose kid’s whose half the time

Chorus

I'm my own god damn grandpa

Sittin' here tryin' to work it out

Family tree got tangled somewhere

Now I'm lost in what it's all about

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, can't explain it

Oh oh, how we made[Post-Chorus]

Oh oh, can't explain it

Oh oh, how we made it[Verse 3]

Neighbor's gossipin', sayin' that's just a shame

Cousin Billy swears he’s my uncle twice

Miss Lucille’s kissin’ on my brother’s ex

Can’t keep up, hell, I won’t even try

Pre-Chorus

Auntie said come on, don’t stress your mind

But I can’t tell whose kid’s whose half the time

Chorus

I'm my own god damn grandpa

Sittin' here tryin' to work it out

Family tree got tangled somewhere

Now I'm lost in what it's all about

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, can't explain it

Oh oh, how we made it

Verse 4

Girlfriend’s cousin might just be my niece

Pa tells jokes that nobody gets

Somebody hollers 'pass the mac and cheese!'

Guess I’m related to the family pet

Pre-Chorus

Auntie said come on, don’t stress your mind

But I can’t tell whose kid’s whose half the time

Chorus

I'm my own god damn grandpa

Sittin' here tryin' to work it out

Family tree got tangled somewhere

Now I'm lost in what it's all about

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, can't explain it

Oh oh, how we made it

End
