Sunday Supper

[Verse 1] Every Sunday afternoon when the church bells stop their ring We all head out to Mama's place, you can hear the screen door swing There's fried chicken in the skillet and there's biscuits in the pan And there's Uncle Earl a-tellin' how he wrestled with a man [Verse 2] The kids are in the backyard chasin' chickens round the shed Grandpa's on the porch swing noddin' off his weary head My sister's got the gossip and my brother's got a joke And the kitchen's full of laughter and a little stovetop smoke [Chorus] Sunday supper, family all around The sweetest kind of riches that a man has ever found Paul Hesch is sittin' with the ones he loves the most Sunday supper, raise a toast [Verse 3] We've had our share of fightin', had our share of tears Had a couple Sundays missin' over all these years But we always come back home to Mama's table and her grace 'Cause there ain't no fight too big for a family to face [Chorus] Sunday supper, family all around The sweetest kind of riches that a man has ever found Paul Hesch is sittin' with the ones he loves the most Sunday supper, raise a toast [Verse 4] There's an empty chair for Grandma, and we leave it there for her And we feel her in the kitchen when the sweet tea starts to stir We feel her in the blessin' and we feel her in the bread And we feel her in the stories of the life she left and led [Verse 5] So if your family's scattered, call 'em up and bring 'em home Life's too short to sit there eatin' supper all alone Set the table, light the candle, say a prayer and pass the pie And love each other fiercely 'fore the years go flyin' by [Chorus] Sunday supper, family all around The sweetest kind of riches that a man has ever found Paul Hesch is sittin' with the ones he loves the most Sunday supper, raise a toast
