George Teren - Mama's Table lyrics

We pull a chair up every night Eat and talk and joke and fight Us kids learned wrong from right at mama's table It was just some hickory wood and screws It's where my daddy read the news You didn't put your dirty shoes on mama's table It was the center of the best times i remember Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together Grandma pa**ed it down when i was in a 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 You could always feel the love in mama's table It was the center of the best times I remember Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together Grandma pa**ed it down when I was in a cradle It's in my kitchen now, but it's still my mama's table It has some faded spots and cracks A couple of burns from candle wax A memory in each scratch on mama's table
