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 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 Oh, the roof is leaking but I care not Gather those buckets pans and pots Carry ’em throw ’em in the sink a lot I turn the heat up higher I don’t have much that didn’t come free Bills eat up my salary But I can still hang goodies on a Christmas tree And sing by crackling 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 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 or 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 loving every once in a while To stroke 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 may 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 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
