Thanksgiving Miracle
Words and music by Janet Buller and Michael A. Michnya
Everyone wants to do their own thing
in our family that’s so typical
If we ever agree on anything
It’ll be a Thanksgiving Miracle
If we ever agree, It’ll be a Thanksgiving Miracle
Women in the kitchen complaining about
Football on the big screen, the men drinking beer
The kids are all glued to their phones
It’s a wonder they’re even here
By dinner time we’re talking politics
Tryin’ hard not to lose our cool
Don’t know why we always go there
Maybe we’re a bunch of crazy old fools
Everyone wants to do their own thing
In our family that’s so typical
If we ever agree on anything
It’ll be a Thanksgiving Miracle
If we ever agree, it’ll be a Thanksgiving Miracle
Mom wanted to go out this year
Dad insisted we eat at home
Well, he got his wish, but truth be told
I think he’d rather be left alone
The table’s piled with plenty of food
Everyone has to have their favorite sides
Some folks stop in for a second meal
By dessert we’re debating the best kind of pie
Everyone wants to do their own thing
In our family that’s so typical
If we ever agree on anything
It’ll be a Thanksgiving Miracle
If we ever agree, it’ll be a Thanksgiving Miracle
I know it might sound like I’m complainin’
But that don’t make it wrong
Gotta appreciate it while we’re still here
This is our dysfunctional love song
Everyone wants to do their own thing
in our family that’s so typical
If we ever agree on anything
It’ll be a Thanksgiving Miracle
If we ever agree, it’ll be a Thanksgiving Miracle
