My Favorite Family

Verse1

Sitting alone in my apartment again

I say I’mma lone wolf, but I really want a friend

When you have nowhere to turn, you gotta go home

I say I’m happy but I really feel alone

Get in my car, drivin’ in my used caddy 

There’s only one place for me, with the Gallo family 

 

Verse2

Walking down the aisles, I make sure to look down

There're other people here, but they’re just a buncha clowns

I’m on a mission for a fixin’ so I’m up in aisle nine

There’s lots of options here but I don’t need nothing fine

Red, white, blush, bubbly

There’s only one wine for me: yep: the Gallo family

 

Verse3

I get home by 6 o’clock with a collection of liters

I don’t drink out of glasses cuz the cleanup is neater

Gonna check my social channels, scrolling forever, it never ends

I have more human connection on here than with my real-life friends 

Nearly 500 followers, I reward them with a sultry selfie

There’s only one tweet from me, it stars the Gallo family

 

Verse4

The bottle nears its end and my lips are turning red

You should go to Taco Bell, said the li’l man in my head

I settled for Spaghetti-os, the Italian in me inspired

If I told you I actually cooked it, I’d be a fuckin’ liar

With a sauce that salty, you gotta pair it with something quickly

There’s only one drink for me, it’s from the Gallo family

 

Bridge

My mom is stressed out by everything, there’s only one fix

A beer, three cocktails, and by 5, a light water sip

Passed out on the couch, I thought my mom was always tired

Turns out a long day with Jim Beam was all she required

 

My stepdad drank a case of beer a day

(I only drink a few beers so it’s OK)

Things got so bad he had to be admitted to rehab

…I’m starting to think alcohol might be kinda bad

 

When I was 10, my dad went away, I thought he was sick

When I was 20, he relapsed hard, I knew what it is

Alcoholism is a disease, it can’t be cured

You live just your daily life, your past and future a blur

 

Verse5

I wake up feeling shitty, all too familiar a feeling

This whole day will now be dedicated to healing

Every time this happens, I swear it’s the last time

But those few fleeting hours felt so sublime

I didn’t feel alone, my inner turmoil far away

There’s only one cure for me, it’s the Gallo family
