David Lavkulik - No Bother (Kennisis Porch Sessions, Vol. 1) Lyrics

Daddy was a country song
Or maybe three or four
Couldn't get enough of it
Out on the dancing floor
Never played an instrument
There was no song he wrote
But always had it playing on the boat

Mama came from privilege
She played the piano well
Always had a silver spoon
She never had to sell
Grandpa he did not approve
She didn't marry up
Suppose she thought that she has just enough

I love my country
I'm staying put
I go to church
Just like I should
This is my family
They are my kin
No bother that they don't all fit in

Sister she was smarter than the rest of us at home
Didn't take too long
For her to master the trombone
Soon she was in symphonies
A touring all the world
In Photographs her hair was always curled

I love my country
I'm staying put
I go to church
Just like I should
This is my family
They are my kin
No bother that they don't all fit in

Ruby he's a redhead boy
That's how he got his name
Don't look like our mom or dad
But he is not ashamed
He went to school and studied hard
But did not make the team
Winning ain't always what it seems

I love my country
I'm staying put
I go to church
Just like I should
This is my family
They are my kin
No bother that they don't all fit in

Jenny is a nurse
An atheist they say
Part time Vegetarian
Cant turn away a steak
Call her hypocritical
Or maybe just confused
Second cousins keep me amused

I love my country
I'm staying put
I go to church
Just like I should
This is my family
They are my kin
No bother that they don't all fit in
