I sat at my kitchen table after a crazy weekend of shows. Seems like I had been everyone but home for a long time, and not much to show for it. The house was empty, with my wife and 2 girls at school for the day, but there were remnants of the week I had missed. Dishes in the sink, games out on the table, and a bowl of crusty Mac n cheese. As I sat there in the quiet, reevaluating my life decisions, I started looking at our old table and wondering what it wisdom it would offer if it could talk.
Does the story make sense? I'm worried it gets confusing in a few spots

Kitchen Tables Talk
V1:
My kids had mac and cheese here yesterday
There's dishes in the sink, and drinks left on the bar
This old table leaves me clues while I'm away
Somehow it knows the truth, I’m selling out my heart
V2:
This house don’t make a sound when they’re away
I told myself 10 years ago, it's all part of the plan
So tonight’s another reason I can't stay
another stage, another chance to show em who I am
C:
But this tables sayin' "please. sit. down.
All that runnin's gonna wear you out
There's gonna come a day, when you wish you'd learned to stop
For Mac and CHeese
V3:
There's a rhythm that this old oak table brings
Every scar another story from generations past
And somehow I know that rhythm’s what I need
To write another story bout a life that's not so fast
BR:
But I’ve been busy chasing down my dreams
To tell the truth, I don’t have much to show
But sitting in the quiet here it seems
The dream lives here, while I’m out on the road

Great song Brandon. The lyrics really resonate, regardless of occupation or artistic pursuit. You can feel the conflict in the chorus. Very well written. Thanks for sharing here.
