My family reunion is goin' on today
My relatives have all flown in from places far away
As we sit there eatin' chicken, it hits me like a truck
I don't like half the folks I love
Me and my former best friend had a big fallin' out
I caught him with my wife, so I punched him in the mouth
We just can't hang out anymore, but I still wish them luck
I don't like half the folks I love
God knows they're all dear to me, but if the truth be told
Well, I like it when they come, but I love it when they go
I'm sure they've got good qualities, but the bad ones cover them up
I don't like half the folks I love
Verse
My alcoholic buddies are fond of hangin? around
When we drink together, peace and joy abound
Sometimes they bring me one more shot when they know I've had enough
I don't like half the folks I love
God knows they're all dear to me, but if the truth be told
Well, I like it when they come, but I love it when they go
I'm sure they've got good qualities, but the bad ones cover them up
I don't like half the folks I love
Verse
In this world we live in, this I guarantee
We all need more tolerance to get along peacefully
But I'm not as nice as Jesus, and I really am fed up
I don't like half the folks I love
God knows they're all dear to me, but if the truth be told
Well, I like it when they come, but I love it when they go
I'm sure they've got good qualities, but the bad ones cover them up
I don't like half the folks I love
Oh, I don't like half the folks I love
