Thankful (Thanksgiving Song)

Intro

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Well the frost is on the windowpane tonight

My sister's in the kitchen with a wooden spoon

Uncle Ray is tuning up the old upright

And mama says the bird will be ready soon

Cousins coming through the door

Dusting snow off their shoes

Pour the cider pass the plate

Ain't a soul with the blues

Chorus

I'm thankful for the table

I'm thankful for the crowd

I'm thankful for the gravy boat

And laughing way too loud

Give me one more slice of pie

Give me one more year

I'm thankful for the ones I love

I'm thankful they are here

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Thankful they are here

Oh-oh-oh

Thankful they are here

Verse 2

Grandpa tells a story that we've heard before

Somehow it gets funnier each time

Baby's got a drumstick on the kitchen floor

The dog is doing circles like a mime

Grandma hums a tune she knows

Swaying as she stirs

Somebody says a little grace

And every heart concurs

Chorus

I'm thankful for the table

I'm thankful for the crowd

I'm thankful for the gravy boat

And laughing way too loud

Give me one more slice of pie

Give me one more year

I'm thankful for the ones I love

I'm thankful they are here

Bridge

November makes me tender

November makes me slow

Pass the plates around again

I ain't ready to go

We'll argue over football

We'll nap until it's late

And when the last dish dries tonight

I'll bow my head and say

Chorus

I'm thankful for the table

I'm thankful for the crowd

I'm thankful for the gravy boat

And laughing way too loud

Give me one more slice of pie

Give me one more year

I'm thankful for the ones I love

I'm thankful they are here

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Thankful they are here

Oh-oh-oh

Thankful they are here
