A Place at My Table (Revised Spoken Intro)

And you'll always have a place at my table Hey dinner's ready come on and eat Get her done This ain't no Memphis soul songs And Motown rhythm and blues Or smoky broken soundtracks To my every childhood moves Soothing are the camera's looking out my back 40 Lord I don't know where I'd be if not for Barry Gordon See my story ain't that simple and it don't stop here Patsy Cline still echoes through my younger years I know you can hear me 'cause the music never stops George Jones sang me to sleep whether he knows it or not And I'll always lend a hand if I'm able And you'll always have a place at my table I've been this whole world over with Detroit on my mind But I've got friends in Tennessee, Atlanta, and Caroline We don't need no money and we don't want no grief But if you came to give some you'll be pickin' up your teeth And I'll always lend a hand if I'm able And you'll always have a place at my table That's your Uncle Kracker sittin' there on that back porch And I think sittin' back here I can see everything I need to see I think back here I can see poor old Mr. Bradford fuelin' up the Benz Everything is truly everything That's all it can ever be And that sure is good enough for me And I'll always give ya help when I'm able And you'll always have a place at my table. And I'll always lend a hand if I'm able And you'll always have a place at my table
