I Don’t Like Half The Folks I Love Lyrics
My family reunion is going 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
My 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
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
My alcoholic buddies are fun to hang around
When we drink together, peace and joy are bound
But 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
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
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
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
I don't like half the folks I love
