Familiar highways Lined with leaves turned brown Making my way Back into my hometown Funny how this all looks different But it feels the same Like how life never stops changing But some things never change So fill your plate and fill your drink And fill this house with family The kind of love that all these years can't wash away 'Cause the older that I get I see that life is short and bittersweet Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day Watching football Watching families grow The old kids' table All have kids of their own Starting to see my grandfather In my nephew's eyes Mom still can't talk about him And not almost cry So fill your plate and fill your drink And fill this house with family The kind of love a thousand miles can't wash away 'Cause the older that I get I see that life is short and bittersweet Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day So fill your plate and fill your drink Put your dishes in the kitchen sink And let the leftover year just wash away 'Cause we made it through, I do believe The longest year in history Thank God it's Thanksgiving Day So fill your plate and fill your drink And fill this house with family The kind of love a thousand miles can't wash away 'Cause the older that I get I see that life is short and bittersweet Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day Oh, thank God that it's Thanksgiving Hmmm
