Mama's Table

We'd pull a chair up every night
Eat and talk and joke and fight
And us kids learned wrong from right at mama's table

It's just some hickory wood and screws
Where my daddy read the news
You didn't put your dirty shoes on mama's table

Was the center of the best times I remember
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together
Grandma passed it down when I was in the cradle
It's in my kitchen now, but it's still my mama's table

It's where my brother and I played games
I just knew he'd gone insane
The day he carved his name in mama's table

When we got down on our luck
It seemed like it held us up
And you could always feel the love in mama's table

Was the center of the best times I remember
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together
Grandma passed it down when I was in the cradle
It's in my kitchen now, but it's still my mama's table

Got some faded spots and cracks
A couple of burns from candle wax
An' there's a memory in each scratch on mama's table
