Written by Jamie Johnson<br>

<br>

We pull a chair up every night and eat and talk and joke and fight<br>

Us kids learned wrong from right at mama's table<br>

With just some hickory wood and screws it's where my daddy read the news<br>

you didn't put your dirty shoes on mama's table<br>

<br>

It was the center of the best times I remember<br>

Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together<br>

Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle<br>

It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table<br>

<br>

It's where my brother and I played games<br>

I just knew he'd gone insane the day he carved his name in mama's table<br>

And when we got down on our luck it seemed like it held us up<br>

you could always feel the love in mama's table<br>

<br>

It was the center of the best times I remember<br>

Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together<br>

Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle<br>

It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table<br>

<br>

It has some faded spots and cracks and a couple of burns from candle wax<br>

a memory in each scratch on mama's table<br>

<br>
