Food On The Table (and Shoes On My Feet) Lyrics - Singles - Alabama

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
