Well there's food on the table and love in the heart

And a real good woman and a couple of kids
 and a dog that thinks I'm smart

I've got a big old mortgage on a little old house
 and car that'll sometimes start

But there's food on the table and love in the heart

Well the roof is leaking but I care not

Gather those buckets pans and pots

Carry 'em throw 'em in the sink a lot

Turn the heat up higher

The Dillards

Take Me Along For The Ride
1992

I don't have much that didn't come free

Bills eat up the salary

But I still hang goodies on a Christmas tree

And sing by cracklin' fire

And there's food on the table and love in the heart

And a real good woman and a couple of kids and a dog that thinks I'm smart

I've got a big old mortgage on a little old house and car that'll sometimes start

But there's food on the table and love in the heart

Well I don't have money but I sure ain't poor

Many a rich man still wants more

Sooner of later he buys the store and he still ain't satisfied

It never took much to make me smile

A new pair of jeans to keep in style

And a little bit of lovin' every once in a while

To stoke my foolish pride

And some food on the table and love in the heart

And a real good woman to call me honey and to hold me in the dark

Oh, the winds may howl and the roof cave in and the world might fall apart

But there's food on the table and love in the heart

Food on the table and love in the heart

And a real good woman and a couple of kids and a dog that thinks I'm smart

I've got a big old mortgage on a little old house and car that'll sometimes start

But there's food on the table and love in the heart

Food on the table and love in the heart
