Lyrics Home by Suppertime - Charles Esten

Home by Suppertime

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
