Sunday afternoon church potluck

George Jones blaring from my grandpa's truck

Granny's fried chicken and her sweet tea
G                               NC
Now that's a bittersweet memory ---

    D
The old tire swing where my little boys play

Well, that was me only yesterday

Doing double back flips off the branch in the tank

Kissing on you and fishing from the bank

The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times

Strong as an oak, solid as a hicko-ry

That's a love made in the shade of our family tree

Passed down from my granny and my grandpa

Mom and daddy kept it safe, kept it sturdy and tall

Summers were hot, winters were long

But our roots were deep and our faith was strong

Now some are gone, and some are all grown
A
You and me, baby, branched out on our own
     Bm
With every sunset comes another sunrise
      G                   A
I can see my daddy in our little boys' eyes

That's a love made in the shade of our family tree

Made in the shade of our family tree
