(Verse 1)
Now let me tell ya ’bout a day
On that ol’ front porch where we used to play,
When a busted dryer sat leanin’ in the sun
Josh poked once, Teresa didn’t dare,
Evan leaned in and opened it with care,
But out came an army of wasps in a rage
Like they’d been savin’ it up for that day!
(Chorus)
And there they went! “EEEEEEEEE!”
The Ray kids flyin’ barefoot through the yard!
Just look at ’em high-tail it!
A wasp swarm chasin’ ’em like the lightnin’ of God!
(Verse 2)
Meanwhile the other young’uns
Were doin’ what summer kids do
Sprinklers blastin’, slip-n-slidin’,
Grass stains stickin’ like glue.
Sophie’s yellin’, “Turn it higher!”
Jonathan dodgin’ the sprinkler fire,
And Jesse belly-floppin’ so hard
The neighbors thought California split in two!
(Chorus)
There they go! “Watch out, it’s slippery!”
Kids skiddin’ ’cross the lawn like slippery fish!
Look at ’em go!
Just summertime chaos and that Ray–Woodall squeal!
(Bridge)
Well the years rolled by like a runaway tire,
Kids grew up—and the stories got wilder.
Shonte shot off first.
Found Brian, built a family,
Nursin’ Red Bluff back to health
Like the boss she’s always been.
(Verse 3)
Teresa flew down to L.A.,
Married Cecil, never lost her way
Jesse smuggled Bibles
Across borders, bold as a lion,
Till Mallori caught his heart.
Now Oregon’s where he’s hidin’
with girls as beautiful as every father fears
(Verse 4)
Jonathan got swept right up by Rosy
with a mind so strong, heart so kind,
She was quite a find. Then came little Madison
With that sparkle in her eye.
Evan grew his hair out long,
Got ripped like Hercules reborn,
Snatched up Haley, sealed the deal
Now Emmett’s their little storm!
(Chorus)
And there they go! “Growin’ up now!”
Spreadin’ ’cross the land like spring seeds!
Look at ’em go! “Call home, ya hear?”
Makin’ stories for generations yet to be!
(Verse 5)
Now Brad—oh Brad—
The ringmaster of this circus dance,
Still raisin’ young’uns to give them a chance.
Now there’s grown up Carter —the ninja redhead,
he Can backflip off any wall or tree in town.
And Caden is so sweat and warm
You wouldn't mind his company through a storm.
(Verse 6)
Josh help holds the fort, watching over
Bryson, Olivia, Lindley, and Josiah—
Four bright sparks of love and devastating fire.
Sophie sings secretly up in Sacramento’s place,
Bella, Chloe, and Trevor—yeah, they flew the coop,
Still part of the wild Ray–Woodall troop.
(Bridge 2)
And Laura—best mom and foster mother
This whole blessed county ever knew.
Oh there they go!
The Ray–Woodall crew—wild, sweet, full of heart!
Look at ’em go!
This two-in-one family’s a livin’ work of art!
(Final Chorus)
From wasps to weddings,
From sprinklers to grandbabies,
From children to grown up,
They still have fun – ‘Yup!
