I heard this song years ago and found it again recently. I thought it would be great to share. You can hear it HERE. The lyrics are below and can be found on his SITE. Support the artist!
Family
Mama’s got a girlfriend, mom loves the ladies
Mama’s really happy when you’re looking at her these days
Papa’s got a boyfriend, yeah, Dad is a man’s man
Everybody’s family, loving everybody he can
Oh the old world is turning around like a top
and there’s nothing you and I should even try to do to stop it
It takes a lot of courage to stand up and get what you need
And lots of us are happy in a different kind of family
Hot time in the old town, the homestead is hopping
Veggies on the grill and there is music in the garden
All the outs are in free, the babies are sleeping
Time enough for love when everybody puts a hand in
Oh the old world is turning around like a top
And there’ s nothing you or I should even try to do to stop it
Ozzy & Harriet are spinning around in their graves
But who needs television these days, anyway?
Love defines it’s boundaries
Limitless shapes, countless forms
I have vowed that when it comes to me I’ll take it
Every manifestation, I’m gonna celebrate it
Papa’s got a boyfriend, the boyfriend loves mom, too
Everywhere they turn they’ve got a heart that they can cling to
Mama’s got a girlfriend, and guess who loves dad’s beau
Try to paint a picture, you can do it with your eyes closed
Oh the old world is turning around like a top
And there’ s nothing you or I should even try to do to stop it
There aren’t any limits when you follow the line that love leads
And lots of us are happy in a different kind of family
In a world that seems to be increasing in conformity
It’s harder and harder to be who you want to be
It takes a lot of courage to stand up and get what you need
Ah, lots of us are happy in a different kind of family
