Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Seventy-nine candles on the kitchen table Uncle Ronnie cracks a joke, yeah, he’s still able Mama laughs so hard that she wipes her eyes Same old stories, they just get better with time [Chorus] We’re kickin’ up with family, boots on this old floor Silliness and happiness, can’t ask for much more Here’s to every birthday and the ones in store Kickin’ up with family, that’s what life is for (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Paper plates, sweet tea in a Mason jar Grandkids drawin’ hearts on a homemade card Mama’s hummin’ low as the cake comes in Ronnie starts that off-key singin’ again [Chorus] We’re kickin’ up with family, boots on this old floor Silliness and happiness, can’t ask for much more Here’s to every birthday and the ones in store Kickin’ up with family, that’s what life is for [Bridge] Here’s to every wrinkle, every laugh line shown Two hearts that raised us, now we walk ’em home May the years keep rollin’, may the jokes stay bad And the love stay strong in the good and the sad (hey!) [Chorus] We’re kickin’ up with family, boots on this old floor Silliness and happiness, can’t ask for much more Seventy-nine candles, we just pray for more Kickin’ up with family, that’s what life is for
