Bible On the Table - Creed Fisher

My dad was a big man with a will that was tough He was at his best when the going was rough He made a livin' for the family and never had to cheat To keep food on the table and shoes on our feet We sat down at the table and thanked God in prayer 'Cause we had plenty to eat and plenty to wear We had patches on our britches, but mamma kept us neat We had food on the table and shoes on our feet We picked the cotton and gathered the corn We were to taught to work from the day we were born Mom and Dad and all us children worked in the summer's heat To keep food on the table and shoes on our feet We sat down at the table and thanked God in prayer 'Cause we had plenty to eat and plenty to wear We had patches on our britches, but mamma kept us neat We had food on the table and shoes on our feet Well today it's the same, no matter where you go If you're gonna stay ahead you've gotta stay on your toes You've gotta be a winner, don't believe in defeat If you keep food on the table and shoes on your feet When you sit down at the table thank God in prayer If you've got plenty to eat and plenty to wear If you've got patches on your britches, just be sure and keep them neat If you've got food on the table and shoes on your feet We sat down at the table and thanked God in prayer 'Cause we had plenty to eat and plenty to wear We had patches on our britches, but mamma kept us neat We had food on the table and shoes on our feet

On the table The deal that kept the courts at arm's length Stealing our thoughts with the force of their non sequiturs Amateurs On the table The view behind the legs of dancers Windows of chance there, lost on the trail of dissent Innocent Do re mi, innocent On the table The deal between the thieves and exits Common and breathless, shrugging at what they've become Number one On the table The steal that kept the courts at arm's length Stealing our hearts with the force of the new evidence Innocent Do re mi, innocent Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Now the plain blondes are playing along with you Now the plain blondes are playing along with you With you On the table Our hopes become a starting pistol Though we have missed all the minutes, we know what we've won Are we done? On the table The deal between the legs of mankind Walking a straight line, copping a plea as they went Innocent Do re mi, innocent Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Now the plain blondes are playing along with you Now the plain blondes are playing along with you On the table On the table On the table On the table

I told her that I loved her She would always be my little girl The hardest thing I ever did Was to let her go out in this big, ol', crazy world Fought her way through high school 'Cause them mean girls always put her down Guess she just wasn't cool enough For the kids here in this one-horse, beat-up town I always knew she would fly so far And she would find a place to help her heal her scars It's good to be a daddy's girl He calls you 'little squirrel', tries to kiss it all away But sometimes a daddy's love It just ain't enough to take away the pain She has to do it on her own And now that she is grown, there's bill she's got to pay But you can bet she ain't done yet Chasing out the dreams she hopes come true one day She always prays she can fly that far Far enough away to help her heal her scars We all have paid in our lives that makes us who we are I always knew she would fly so far She would find a place to help her heal her scars She always prays she can fly that far Far enough away to help her heal her scars
