Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. What does family mean?Does it only needA mom and dad and a couple kidsSure that’s where it all begins, butWedding bands and mortgage loansAren’t what make a house a homeIt’s so much more than just the basic thingsIt’s all that happens in between
Like roadtrip driving till the break of dawnOffkey singing to our favorite songsJumping and yelling, cheering our favorite teamGrandma’s cooking and late-night gamesIt’s good advice and making mistakesThen forgiving, forgetting, and loving through everythingThat’s what family means to me
2. No matter what we doWe’re gonna make it throughBecause it isn’t just a box to checkOr a status that we’re trying to getIn the stands or back at homeFamily’s there to cheer us onAnd it can last forever and a dayAlong with all the memories made
Like front room movie nights and hand-me-downsDreaming bigger than our bank accountBut knowing we’ll always have enough to make ends meetDoctor visits from a double dareGroup hug laughing after family prayerAnd knowing we’d never ever wanna change a thingThat’s what family means to me
It’s working hardAnd giving up some things we wantFor something moreYeah, it’s so much more
Roadtrip driving till the break of dawnOffkey singing to our favorite songsJumping and yelling, cheering our favorite teamGrandma’s cooking and late-night gamesIt’s good advice and making mistakesThen forgiving, forgetting, and loving through everythingThat’s what family means to meThat’s what family means to me
