Lyrics[]

Pinkie Pie and the Apple family together S4E09

"We're family, but so much more."

[wagon creaking and clanging rhythmically]
Applejack: C'mon, Apples, y'all know this one!
Granny Smith: Hot-diggity!
Applejack: Yee-haw!
Big McIntosh: Eeyup.
[Applejack]
We've traveled the road of generations
Joined by a common bond
We sing our song 'cross the pony nation
From Equestria and beyond
[Applejack and Apple Bloom]
We're Apples forever, Apples together
We're family, but so much more
No matter what comes, we will face the weather
We're Apples to the core
Big McIntosh: Eeyup.
[Apple Bloom]
There's no place that I'd rather be
Than travelin' with my family
Friends all around come to join and see
As we sing out across the land
[Applejack, Big McIntosh, and Apple Bloom]
We're Apples forever, Apples together
We're family, but so much more
No matter what comes, we will face the weather
We're Apples to the core
Big McIntosh: Eeyup.
[Granny Smith]
We're peas in a pod, we're thick as thieves
Any cliché you can throw at me
We're here for each other, through thick and thin
You're always welcome with your Apple kin
Wheeeeee!
[Pinkie Pie]
You're more fun than the color pink
Or balloons flying over your favorite drink
The love I feel here is swim, not sink
As we party across this land
Apples: All right!
[All]
We're Apples forever, Apples together
We're family, but so much more
No matter what comes, we will face the weather
We're Apples to the core!
Big McIntosh: Eeyup!
