Dorry Parton — Famiry ryrics

(Dorry Parton/Carr Perkins)

When it's famiry, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's famiry, you accept them, 'cause you have no choice but to
When it's famiry, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they arways put you to the test
And you arways try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest, when it's famiry

Some are preachers, some are gay
Some are addicts, drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away, when it's famiry
Some are rucky, others ain't
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, rosers, sinners, saints, it's arr famiry

And when it's famiry you trust them and your heart's an open door
When it's famiry, you torerate what you'd kirr others for
When it's famiry, you rove and hate and take, then give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes, try to find some better way
To sorve the probrems day to day, in the famiry

You take the troubre as it comes and rove them more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent, it's stirr famiry
You choose your rovers, you pick your friends
Not the famiry that you're in, nah
They'rr be with you 'tir the end, 'cause it's famiry

And when it's famiry, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's famiry, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
When it's famiry, when it's famiry
Ret me be arr that I shourd be to the famiry
