The Table (Home for a Minute)

+ Show full styles

[INTRO] Boots by the door, coat on the rail, That old pine floor remembers every tale. [VERSE 1] The kettle’s singing like it always did, Fire crackles, calling back the kids. We’ve all been gone, scattered and spinning, But here we are ....... home for a minute. [PRE-CHORUS] There’s laughter under every sigh, Old ghosts smiling, passing by. We don’t need much, just a chair and a plate, To remember love don’t have an expiration date. [CHORUS] We’re home for a minute, And that’s enough tonight. The world keeps turning, But the porch light’s right. Every hug’s a hymn, every tear’s forgiven, At the table, we’re home ....... Home for a minute. [VERSE 2] Someone burned the rolls again, Someone tuned the banjo out of tune again. But we sing off-key like a choir divine, And heaven don’t mind if the laughter’s fine. [BRIDGE] We’ve got miles to go come morning, Trains and trials and time that’s short. But grace keeps pulling up a chair, Every time we open the door. [FINAL CHORUS] We’re home for a minute, And that’s all right. The storm can wait, the world can fight. Every scar’s a story, every heart’s been in it, At the table, we’re home ....... Home for a minute. [OUTRO ] Boots by the door, coat on the rail... Yeah, it’s good to be home ....... For a minute.
