* 8-bar intro
* Verse 1 My dad was a big man with a will that was tough.
He was at his best when the going was rough.
He made a living for the family and never had to cheat
To keep food on the table and shoes on our feet.
* Chorus We sat down at the table and thanked God in prayer
'Cause we had plenty to eat and plenty to wear.
We had patches on our britches, but Mama kept us neat.
We had food on the table and shoes on our feet.
* 20-bar break
* Verse 2 We picked the cotton and gathered the corn.
We were taught to work from the day we were born.
Mum and Dad and all us children worked in the summer's heat
To keep food on the table and shoes on our feet.
* Repeat chorus
* Verse 3 Well, today, it's the same, no matter where you go.
If you're gonna stay ahead, you've got to stay on your toes.
You've got to be a winner, don't believe in defeat
If you keep food on the table and shoes on your feet.
* Chorus 2 Well, you sit down at the table, thank God in prayer
If you've got plenty to eat and plenty to wear.
If you've got patches on your britches,
Just be sure and keep 'em neat
If you've got food on the table and shoes on your feet.
* 20-bar piano solo
* Repeat chorus 1
