That Table

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 say 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 say 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 say 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
