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 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
