[Verse 1] In a little house away On the edge of Santa Fe Theres a weathered slab of wood Restin on four wooden legs Where we said our prayers And broke our bread And talked about our days When we were kids Yeah, yeah [Verse 2] It was blessed by Grandmas cooking It was built by Grandpas hands The place we made our mischief And where Mamma gave commands Where we bring all our problems Our questions, our friends, where we live Ohh [Chorus] Was the center of our family The foundation of our home Its where we came together And we learned to get along Where wed laugh, right our wrongs Use our manners, speak to God Learn to be grateful, oh At that kitchen table [PostChorus] Yeah, at that kitchen table [Verse 3] Even though its been resurfaced You can still see all the stains Where every marks a memory You cant cover up with paint Although it aint worth much now The value grows with age Every day, every day [Chorus] Was the center of our family The foundation of our home Its where we came together And we learned to get along Where wed laugh, right our wrongs Use our manners, speak to God Learn to be grateful, oh At that kitchen table [PostChorus] Oh, yeah Oh, oh [Bridge] Now the tables finally turned I got a table of my own And Im taking what Ive learned To make a home [Chorus] Its the center of my family The foundation of my home Its where we come together And we learn to get along Where we laugh, right our wrongs Use our manners, speak to God Learn to be grateful, oh Yeah, always be grateful At that kitchen table [PostChorus] Yeah, at that kitchen table
