We pull a chair up every night and eat and talk and joke and fight
D7 G
Us kids learned wrong from right at mama's table
C
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
G C
It was the center of the best times I remember
D7 G
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together
C
Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle
D7 G
It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table
C
It's where my brother and I played games I just knew he'd gone insane
D7 G
The day he carved his name in mama's table
C
And when we got down on our luck it seemed like it held us up
D7 G
You could always feel the love in mama's table
C
It was the center of the best times I remember
D7 G
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together
C
Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle
D7 G C
It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table
G
It has some faded spots and cracks
C
And a couple of burns from candle wax
D7 G
There’s a memory in each scratch on mama's table
