My mama shot a man down in Birmingham for giving her a sideways glance
My grandpa died with his boots on but he wasn't wearing any pants
And my daddy's down in Huntsville working on his G-E-D
It's always shady around my family tree
My uncle married a stripper, he's managing her career
My nephew stole a big rig that was loaded full of Lone Star beer
And my brother got caught with reefer and he blamed that shit on me
It's always shady around my family tree
Oh my family tree is a tragedy, that's the way it's always been
The good Lord lets you pick your friends, but you're stuck with your kin
My niece got kicked out of high school for having a flask of Jim Beam
My cousin kissed the quarterback and now he's off the team
And my sister's got 6 children but she's only 23
It's always shady around my family tree
Mama shot a man down in Birmingham for giving a sideways glace
And my grandpa died with his boots on but he wasn't wearing any pants
And my daddy's still in Huntsville working on his P-H-D
It's always shady around my family tree
Yes it's always shady around my family tree
