Going Full Texan - Back home for Thanksgiving Lyrics

There's a chill in the air, football on the screen
Cousins throwing jabs, you know just what I mean
Uncle dozing off, like clockwork in his chair
And Grandma's in the kitchen, smell of pie in the air
There's nothing like Thanksgiving, back home with the crew
Turkey on the table, and sides piled high too
Sweet tea to wash it down, laughs that never end
It's the little things that bring us all back again
Playing catch in the yard, leaves falling around
Laughing 'til it hurts, like we're still in this town
Mashed potatoes piled high, seconds, thirds in line
And stories retold that get better with time
There's nothing like Thanksgiving, back home with the crew
Turkey on the table, and sides piled high too
Sweet tea to wash it down, laughs that never end
It's the little things that bring us all back again
Years bring change, some folks move away
Some seats at the table sit empty today
But new faces come, nieces and nephews too
Picking up traditions, learning what we do
Now the little ones laugh, where we once played
Learning the traditions, joining the parade
From Grandma's cooking to the tales that we share
The family grows, love's still in the air
There's nothing like Thanksgiving, back home with the crew
Turkey on the table, and sides piled high too
Sweet tea to wash it down, laughs that never end
It's the little things that bring us all back again
So here's to the memories, and to those who are gone
Here's to new faces helping us carry on
With family gathered, and blessings to say
There's nothing like Thanksgiving... nothing quite this way
