Full plates and full hearts

(Verse 1)

Grandma’s in the kitchen hummin’ somethin’ low,

Turkey on the counter, biscuits in a row.

Uncle Joe’s already crackin’ open a beer,

Sayin’ “Thank the Lord, my favorite day’s finally here.”

Football on the TV, cousins runnin’ wild,

Dad carvin’ up the bird with that proud-dad smile.

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, there’s laughter in the walls of this ol’ house,

And a whole lotta things we don’t always talk about…

(Chorus)

But tonight we got full plates and full hearts,

Pass the mashed potatoes and the fresh baked tarts.

Raise a glass to the folks who’ve been there from the start—

Family, faith, and a little backyard spark.

We don’t need much, just who we are…

Yeah, it’s love and gravy pourin’ heavy —

Full plates and full hearts on Thanksgiving.

(Verse 2)

Mama says a blessing while we bow our heads,

Thankin’ God for the roof and the warm soft beds.

Kids at the table sneakin’ extra pie,

Aunt Lisa tellin’ stories that’ll make ya cry.

Fire’s burnin’ bright as the daylight fades,

Still the same traditions that my granddad made.

(Pre-Chorus)

There’s a peace in this place I don’t feel all year,

Makes you hold your people just a little more near…

(Chorus)

'Cause tonight we got full plates and full hearts,

Pass the stuffing down before the good part starts.

Raise a glass to the folks who’ve been there from the start—

Family, faith, and a little backyard spark.

We don’t need much, just who we are…

Yeah, it’s love and gravy pourin’ heavy —

Full plates and full hearts on Thanksgiving.

(Bridge)

And when the world feels heavy on my shoulders,

I come back home and it all gets a little bit slower.

One meal, one night, with the ones I’m livin’ for —

Makes me thank the good Lord even more.

(Final Chorus)

Tonight we got full plates and full hearts,

Pumpkin pie slices stacked sky-high on the cart.

Raise a glass to the folks who’ve been there from the start—

Family, faith, and a little backyard spark.

We don’t need much, just who we are…

Yeah, it’s love and gravy pourin’ heavy —

Full plates and full hearts on Thanksgiving.
