G                                 
It was the thirty-first gatherin' of the Thompsons, Jones and Smiths
                                                              D
THere were tables full of chicken, taters, collard greens and grits
        G
Well it all took place at Hatie Lake State Park
C
Volleyball, fishin, badminton, yard darts
     A7                                          D
Aunt Irene said she'd never seens a turnout like this

G
It started with handshakes and Lordy how the babies have grown
                                                D
As the sun got hotter, the day got to draggin' along
  G
I saw Uncle Gene coming back from his car
     C
With something clear as water in a mason jar
         G                  D                  G

The lemonade got hearty and Lord the party was on


CHORUS:
     C                 F
That ol' boom box got louder and louder
G
Actin' civilized didn't seem to matter
     C                                         D
Everybody got to showin' their hiney includin' me
         G
Lord I'd never known Granny to take her a sip
        C
But the words were slurring comin' offa her lips
       G                    D                       G
And it dawned on me, white lightnin' hit the family tree


G
Cousin Johnny was a Gator, Jimmy was a UT fan
                                                  D
And that football talk was quickly gettin' out of hand
       G
Granny told Uncle Dave that she hated his guts
    C
Got right up in his face and said your whole fam damily's nuts
        G                          D                         G
Chicken legs got to flyin' and the whoop started hittin' the fan


CHORUS  


BRIDGE:
     F                      C
That ol' park ranger jumped out of his car
     G/
Said listen here folks, it's gone a little too far
F                 C
Tear it all down, pack it all up
D7
Call it quits while there's still a little love


SOLO

But the words were slurrin' right offa her lips
       G                  D                        G
And it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree
        G                  D                        G
