Alli Walker - Kitchen Floor (Official Visualizer)

It's faded by the back door full of scratches and a couple dents The way it creeks there weren't no sneakin' out or sneakin' in And I learned that the hard way coming home from my first date Dad was waiting at the counter worried sick 'cause I was late

Grandma dropped that old cast iron teaching me to cook And you can see the burn mark there if you know where to look There's a scuff right by the wall from fighting over some dumb guy And Momma left it there to prove the point she's always right

These hardwoods have seen hard times Long talks and late nights Dance parties and spilled wine ain't nothin to cry over Potlucks and birthdays, goodbyes and heartbreaks Where mama wiped my tears away and I always had a shoulder Muddy boots by the back door that grand dad don't wear no more Been a whole lotta life lived on this kitchen floor

Been a long time since we wore the shine right off that solid maple But I wouldn't trade a memory made saying grace around that table There's years of smiles and stories safe and sound in that wood grain And if I had a million dollars hell I'd keep em just the same

These hardwoods have seen hard times Long talks and late nights Dance parties and spilled wine ain't nothin to cry over Potlucks and birthdays, goodbyes and heartbreaks Where mama wiped my tears away and I always had a shoulder Muddy boots by the back door that grand dad don't wear no more Been a whole lotta life lived on this kitchen floor

Ooo

Man I missed them since I moved away Can't wait to build some memories board by board like that someday

These hardwoods have seen hard times Long talks and late nights Dance parties and spilled wine ain't nothin to cry over Potlucks and birthdays, goodbyes and heartbreaks Where mama wiped my tears away and I always had a shoulder Muddy boots by the back door that grand dad don't wear no more Been a whole lotta life lived on this kitchen floor This kitchen floor
