Jamey Johnson
Mama’s Table
[Verse 1]
We'd pull a chair up every night
Eat and talk, and joke and fight
And as kids, learned wrong from right
At mama’s table
Just some hickory wood and screws
Where my daddy read the news
You didn’t put your dirty shoes
On mama’s table
[Chorus]
Was the center of the best times, I remember
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together
Grandma passed it down when I was in the cradle
It’s in my kitchen now but it’s still my mama’s table
[Verse 2]
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
And you could always feel the love
In mama’s table
[Chorus]
Was the center of the best times, I remember
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together
Grandma passed it down when I was in the cradle
It’s in my kitchen now, but it’s still my mama’s table
[Verse 3]
Got some faded spots and cracks
Couple of burns, and candle wax
And there's a memory in each scratch
On mama’s table
[Instrumental Outro]
