Don't get you at all, but your apple don't fall too far from 'em

     F
They own too much wicker and drink too much liquor
       Gm
You'd wash your hands of them, but blood's always thicker
     C
You might look just like 'em, that don't mean you're like 'em
         F
But you love 'em

You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em

They're there when you're married, divorced, and remarried
     Gm
You fall out of touch, but then someone gets buried
            C                                              F Dm F Dm
And you're right back together like no time has ever gone by

            F
Can't live with or without 'em, you might talk about 'em
        Gm
But if someone else does well, then you'll knock 'em out cause
     C                                                       F
When it's all said and done, they're the only ones that you got

They might smoke like chimneys, but give you their kidneys

C                         Bb            C
Even though they know you ain't got no money
       F                       Bb
They show up at Christmas, get up in your business
