Family Night
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by CCR (Lookin' Out My Back Door)
Just got home on Monday
Just got home on Monday
It was not a fun day
It was not a fun day
Got to lay down take a rest on the couch
Got to lay down take a rest on the couch
Rigor mortis sets in
Rigor mortis sets in
Purty soon I'm snorin'
Purty soon I'm snorin'
Oh, oh, no, I forgot family night
Oh, oh, no, I forgot family night
Reason why I'm stressun'
Reason why I'm stressun'
It's my turn for the lesson
It's my turn for the lesson
Didn’t even think about it till just now.
Didn’t even think about it till just now.
Don't know what I’m doin'
Don't know what I’m doin'
Recipe for ruin
Recipe for ruin
Oh, oh, no, off the cuff family night
Oh, oh, no, off the cuff family night
Guess I'm not the only one, who had a crazy day
Guess I'm not the only one, who had a crazy day
My wife, she's got a zillion things to do
My wife, she's got a zillion things to do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Hope that she can cope now,
Hope that she can cope now,
End of her rope now
End of her rope now
Oh, oh, no, don't bring up family night
Oh, oh, no, don't bring up family night
Kids are swamped with homework,
Kids are swamped with homework,
at least that's what they say
at least that's what they say
Apparently tomorrow it's all due
Apparently tomorrow it's all due
Due, due, due
Due, due, due
Another kid ran out the door
Another kid ran out the door
Said "family night is such a bore"
Said "family night is such a bore"
Oh, oh, no, can we skip family night
Oh, oh, no, can we skip family night
You may wonder whether,
You may wonder whether,
We pulled it together
We pulled it together
Maybe it's a miracle but some-how we did
Maybe it's a miracle but some-how we did
Family wounds are healin',
Family wounds are healin',
Least that's how we’re feelin'
Least that's how we’re feelin'
Oh, oh, yeah, we just love family night
Oh, oh, yeah, we just love family night
