Corey Smith - Together lyrics

Lord I wish that you could take me Back to 1983 Before my folks untied the knot that bound our home And busted up the family tree Wed get up early every Sunday Pile into my grandaddys van Head over to the steeple three generations in a pew And I couldnt wait until the alter call began Together wed all stand and sing along Wed do the gospel Mawmaw taught us every song When it was over wed go have a Sunday meal The preachers call on Brother Bill hed bless the food And wed all share in it together Together Lord I wish that you could take me Back to those Raven county hills Wed head up to Black Rock Mountain for a family affair Throw some hot dogs and burgers on the grill Id pull up a chair beside my Mama Listen to her brag on all us kids To this day I cant believe how proud that woman was After all of the crazy things we did Together wed all enjoy the feud Take in the laughter, let it heal our blues I was barely 18, but even then I understood There was power in the blood that kept us hangin in Holdin on together Together Therell be a wedding or a funeral Every year or so Well see the familiar faces Sayin oh aint it a shame we dont get together anymore Cept at these awkward places Yeah the sanctuaries and the fellowship hall have really become a drag Now everybodys gettin older Weve all gone our separate ways But Im tired of the excuses and Ive made up my mind Were meetin up at my house this comin Saturday Ill get some barbecue and light beer Sweet tea and kool-aid for the little ones We put lawn chairs in the backyard Sit and catch up on lost times Watch the kids runnin round dont it sound like fun Together same blood within our veins A new generation to proudly share our family name Well raise a bottle to the ones who came before The ones who aint with us anymore Lord, I bet theyre happy knowin Were all here together When its over well all say a long good-bye Oh baby sitster dont you cry it wont until Well all be together Together Together Together Together
