[Intro] [Verse 1] 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 living for the family and never had to cheat to keep food on the table and shoes on our feet. [Chorus] 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 momma kept us neat. We had food on the table and shoes on our feet. [Interlude] [Verse 2] We picked the cotton and gathered the corn, we were 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. [Chorus] When you sit down at the table thank God in prayer, 'cause we have plenty to eat and plenty to wear. If you've got patches on your britches just (lyrics wrong) keep em neat we had food on the table and shoes on your feet. [Verse 3] 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. [Chorus] When you sat down at the table and thanked God in prayer, if you got plenty to eat and plenty to wear. If you got patches on our britches just be sure and keep 'em neat, if you got food on the table and shoes on our feet. [Instrumental Break] / / / [End-Chorus] 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 momma kept us neat. We had food on the table and shoes on our feet. [Outro] (Fading Out) / / /

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la vie d'une famille qui valorise le travail acharné et la gratitude. Elle décrit un père fort et déterminé, qui veille à subvenir aux besoins de sa famille sans jamais recourir à la malhonnêteté. Les moments passés à table sont l'occasion de rendre grâce à Dieu pour les provisions et les vêtements, même si leur situation n'est pas luxueuse. La vie est un apprentissage constant, où le labeur est présent depuis l'enfance, et chaque membre de la famille contribue à maintenir leur situation. On ressent un fort lien entre la spiritualité et la réalité quotidienne, soulignant l'importance des valeurs traditionnelles et de la reconnaissance, même dans les moments modestes. C'est un hommage à la simplicité et à la force des liens familiaux.
