Home by Suppertime - Charles Esten

I use to fly all day on a dragon

I settled Santa Fe by covered wagon

I rode a dinosaur, been there, done that

I fought the third World War, I did that, won that

I walked the moon when I wasn’t fighting crime

As long as I was home by suppertime

When I turned seventeen I got cool, I

Hey, did that high school scene, and all those rules, I

Thought it would never end, yes sir, no sir

Just wanted my girlfriend closer, closer

My daddy farmed to keep this boy in line

Made sure that I was home by suppertime

When we gathered 'round the table

For our blessings, we’d be grateful as we bowed

Hand in hand, he would command

And I would never understand

But, oh, how I do now

That girl and I left home, now we’re raising

A family of our own, sure gets crazy

You gotta run so fast, always going

Searching for greener grass, it all needs mowing

But every night, I can promise that you’ll find

That I’m home by suppertime

When we gathered 'round the table

For our blessings, we’ll be grateful as we bowed

Hand in hand, he would command

And I could never understand

But, oh, how I do now

Oh, whoa

Every once in a while after praying

I’d gotta stop and smile, I hear dad saying

He isn’t just about momma’s cooking

Or passing plates around if you’re not looking

You’re gonna find that your life has passed you by

That there is why I’m home by suppertime

Home by suppertime

Gotta get home by suppertime

God bless suppertime
