Corey Smith - Together Lyrics
Lord I wish that you could take meBack to 1983Before my folks untied the knot that bound our homeAnd busted up the family treeWe’d get up early every SundayPile into my grandaddy’s vanHead over to the steeple three generations in a pewAnd I couldn’t wait until the alter call beganTogether we’d all stand and sing alongWe’d do the gospel Mawmaw taught us every songWhen it was over we’d go have a Sunday mealThe preacher’s call on Brother Bill he’d bless the foodAnd we’d all share in it togetherTogetherLord I wish that you could take meBack to those Raven county hillsWe’d head up to Black Rock Mountain for a family affairThrow some hot dogs and burgers on the grillI’d pull up a chair beside my MamaListen to her brag on all us kidsTo this day I can’t believe how proud that woman wasAfter all of the crazy things we didTogether we’d all enjoy the feudTake in the laughter, let it heal our bluesI was barely 18, but even then I understoodThere was power in the blood that kept us hangin inHoldin on togetherTogetherThere’ll be a wedding or a funeralEvery year or soWe’ll see the familiar facesSayin’ oh ain’t it a shame we don’t get together anymore‘Cept at these awkward placesYeah the sanctuaries and the fellowship hall have really become a dragNow everybody’s gettin olderWe’ve all gone our separate waysBut I’m tired of the excuses and I’ve made up my mindWe’re meetin up at my house this comin SaturdayI’ll get some barbecue and light beerSweet tea and kool-aid for the little onesWe’’ put lawn chairs in the backyardSit and catch up on lost timesWatch the kids runnin round don’t it sound like funTogether same blood within our veinsA new generation to proudly share our family nameWe’ll raise a bottle to the ones who came beforeThe ones who ain’t with us anymoreLord, I bet they’re happy knowin’We’re all here togetherWhen it’s over we’ll all say a long good-byeOh baby sitster don’t you cry it won’t untilWe’ll all be togetherTogetherTogetherTogetherTogether
