Little sister's in the parlor
She ain't got no place to go
Big brother's working at the factory
Making money, don't you know
Mother's waiting at the front door
Daddy's watching his T.V.
Me, I'm down here in the basement
Just as confused as I can be
That's the family that stays together
The family that stays together
Yesterday, we fixed the Chevy
Daddy says it's got no soul
Sister say's she won't go riding
Brother says he's got to roll
Put the dog out in the backyard
Take the garbage can outside
The old man yells something at the neighbors
Then we all go for a ride
That's the family that stays together
The family that stays together
And, the house is lit up like a candle
You can tell it's warm inside
No one ever seems to wonder
Why it's still there against the tide
That's the family that stays together
The family that stays together
The family that stays together
The family that stays together
She ain't got no place to go
Big brother's working at the factory
Making money, don't you know
Daddy's watching his T.V.
Me, I'm down here in the basement
Just as confused as I can be
The family that stays together
Daddy says it's got no soul
Sister say's she won't go riding
Brother says he's got to roll
Take the garbage can outside
The old man yells something at the neighbors
Then we all go for a ride
The family that stays together
You can tell it's warm inside
No one ever seems to wonder
Why it's still there against the tide
The family that stays together
The family that stays together
