Story Behind The Song
I did live in this small town. I did live with a couple and the husband was named Mike. There was a girl with aids who died from Garrison (who apparently did not tell some of her lovers).
I just wrote what I perceived my surroundings to be.

Lyrics
Dysfunctional
by Roy Liljequist
I come from a small town full of dysfunctional families,
where everybody goes out with everybody Else's spouses.
I heard about the aids scare up in Garrison way,
kinda makes me wounder where I could stay.
Hard to, hard to, hard to tell,
Maybe I'm dysfunctional well.
Look at all the children playing in the parking lot,
they ignore their parents cause they just drink a lot.
There's my neighbor Mike cutting down his wife,
I used to live there man, nothing there but strife.
Hard to, hard to, hard to tell,
Maybe I'm dysfunctional well.
I come from a small town full of dysfunctional families,
where everybody goes out with everybody Else's spouses.
I heard about the aids scare up in Garrison way,
kinda makes me wounder where I could stay.
Hard to, hard to, hard to tell,
Maybe I'm dysfunctional "well?".
