"That Table" lyrics
I remember that table where I grew up
Eating cereal in my highchair, apple juice in a sippy cup
Where I did my homework and I played Monopoly
And that dog was always down at my feet looking for something to eat
Where I told my mom all about how that girl broke my heart
And my mama held me close and said she was no good from the start
We all held hands, bowed our heads, and talked to the people on the other side
We asked each other about our days and said it's gonna be all right
We fill our cups with wine and beer, and raise them up and all say cheers
With everything that changes, one thing that stays the same is that table
I remember that table where I first got drunk
I got into my old man's liquor, didn't know when enough was enough
I remember that table where I hung my head in shame
And I knew I was in trouble when he called me by my full name
Where I broke the news I was leaving home
And my mama cried even though she knew it was time for me to go
We all held hands, bowed our heads, and talked to the people on the other side
We asked each other about our days and said it's gonna be all right
We fill our cups with wine and beer, and raise them up and all say cheers
With everything that changes, one thing that stays the same is that table
Yeah, Dad was at the head, Mom was by his side
And there was little old me along for the ride
Now it's me at the head, my wife right by my side
Our little baby daughter along for the ride
She'll remember that table where she grew up
Eating cereal in her highchair, apple juice in a sippy cup
Where she does her homework and she plays Monopoly
That dog is always down at her feet looking for something to eat
Where she told her mom all about how that boy broke her heart
And her mama held her close and said he was no good from the start
We all held hands, bowed our heads, and talked to the people on the other side
We asked each other about our days and said it's gonna be all right
She drinks her juice, we drink our beer, we raise them up and all say cheers
With everything that changes, one thing that stays the same is that table
With everything that changes, one thing that stays the same is
That table
Everything that changes, everything that changes
Everything that changes, everything that changes
Eating cereal in my highchair, apple juice in a sippy cup
Where I did my homework and I played Monopoly
And that dog was always down at my feet looking for something to eat
Where I told my mom all about how that girl broke my heart
And my mama held me close and said she was no good from the start
We all held hands, bowed our heads, and talked to the people on the other side
We asked each other about our days and said it's gonna be all right
We fill our cups with wine and beer, and raise them up and all say cheers
With everything that changes, one thing that stays the same is that table
I remember that table where I first got drunk
I got into my old man's liquor, didn't know when enough was enough
I remember that table where I hung my head in shame
And I knew I was in trouble when he called me by my full name
Where I broke the news I was leaving home
And my mama cried even though she knew it was time for me to go
We all held hands, bowed our heads, and talked to the people on the other side
We asked each other about our days and said it's gonna be all right
We fill our cups with wine and beer, and raise them up and all say cheers
With everything that changes, one thing that stays the same is that table
Yeah, Dad was at the head, Mom was by his side
And there was little old me along for the ride
Now it's me at the head, my wife right by my side
Our little baby daughter along for the ride
She'll remember that table where she grew up
Eating cereal in her highchair, apple juice in a sippy cup
Where she does her homework and she plays Monopoly
That dog is always down at her feet looking for something to eat
Where she told her mom all about how that boy broke her heart
And her mama held her close and said he was no good from the start
We all held hands, bowed our heads, and talked to the people on the other side
We asked each other about our days and said it's gonna be all right
She drinks her juice, we drink our beer, we raise them up and all say cheers
With everything that changes, one thing that stays the same is that table
With everything that changes, one thing that stays the same is
That table
Everything that changes, everything that changes
Everything that changes, everything that changes
