Homemade curtains in the breeze
|
Green grass stains on both of my knees
|
My first memory was Mama poppin' grease and frying chicken
|
Crying cuttin' onions in the kitchen
|
Sunday morning my best shirt
|
Crock pot’s on for dinner after church
|
Dad was baptized by Lynchburg
|
Mama would always beg him to come with us
|
Crying cuttin' onions in the kitchen
|
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
|
The devil’s in the bottom of the bottle of brown liquor
|
Daddy’s on the front porch pourin' one more high or more than Haggard’s pickin'
|
And Mama’s cuttin' onions in the kitchen
|
Seventeen, summer buzz
|
I stumbled in, she waited up
|
The screen door creaked and there she was
|
Both are eyes were red cause I’d been sippin'
|
She said she’d been cuttin' onions in the kitchen
|
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
|
The devil’s in the bottom of the bottle of brown liquor
|
Daddy’s on the front porch pourin' one more high or more than Haggard’s pickin'
|
And Mama’s cuttin' onions in the kitchen
|
Flowers have the dirt behind white picket fences
|
Mama tried on vinyl keeps on spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'
|
Jesus on a cross down the hallway in a picture
|
The devil’s in the bottom of the bottle of brown liquor
|
Daddy’s six feet in the ground
|
Everybody’s at the house
|
Never mind all the covered dishes
|
Mama’s cuttin' onions in the kitchen |
