Coffee With Your Folks

Check my collar in the rearview glass

Wondering if this truck is too loud when I pass

Got a brand new button-down,

pressed and clean

Nervous as a boy at seventeen

You said your daddy's got a firm handshake

And your mama makes the best sweet tea they make

Walkin' up the porch my heart starts to climb

Singin' stay cool, buddy,

it'll be just fine

The door swings open and I see your smile

And all that worry fades away for a while

Now I'm sitting at the table,

fitting right in

Laughing at the stories of where you've been Your daddy's pouring coffee,

mama's passing pie I'm looking at them and I'm seeing why

You turned out so beautiful and sweet It's the best damn family

a guy could meet

We're looking at the album on the living room floor

Pictures of your braids when you were four

Your dad catches my eye and he gives a little nod

And I breathe a little thank-you up to God

Now I'm sitting at the table,

fitting right in Laughing at the stories of where you've been Your

daddy's pouring coffee, mama's passing pie I'm looking at them and I'm

seeing why You turned out so beautiful and sweet It's the best

damn family a guy

could meet I was worried about the questions they would ask But

they just want to know

we're gonna last

Yeah, the best damn family...

We're gonna be just fine (hummmm)
