G                                                     Am
It was the thirty first gathering of the Thompsons, Joneses, and Smiths

             G                                                  D
There were tables full of chicken, taters, collard greens, and grits

         G                                  A
Well it all took place at Hatie Lake State Park

              G
Volleyball, fishin', badmitton, yard darts

      Am                                         D
Aunt Irene said she'd never seen a turnout like this

         G
Well it started with hand shakes and lordy, how the babies have grown

                                                D
As the sun got hotter the day got to draggin' along

   G
I saw Uncle Gene comin' back from his car

       C                                  G
With somethin' clear as water in a mason jar

                               D                  G
The lemonade got hearty and, Lordy, the party was on

     C
That ol' boom box got louder and louder 

  G
Actin' civilzed 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 a slurrin' comin' off of her lips

         G                   D                      G
And it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree

G
Well 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 said, your whole famn damily's nuts

         G                           D                        G
Chicken legs got to flyin' And the whoop started hittin' the fan

     C
That ol' boom box got louder and louder 

  G
Actin' civilzed 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 a slurrin' comin' off of her lips

         G                   D                      G
And it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree

     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

 Dm
Call it quits while there's still a little love

           G
Yeah I've never known Granny to take her a sip 

          C
But the words were a slurrin' comin' off of her lips

         G                  D                       G
And it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree

                             D                       G
Yeah it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree
