We are A-OK. My family is my sunshine on a stormy day. ’Cause even though we give out, we never give in, that’s no doubt. We like cowboy boots and bonfi res, nice trucks and muddy tires. Though we don’t always require that blast Arionna from the past, Young we got along and get it done fast. ’Cause, guess what, aahh, we’re home at last.
