We were NASCAR drivers cuttin' short
Around turns three and four
Racin' 'round that island in our tennis shoes
And that hardwood kitchen floor
We were superheroes protectin' mama
From monsters in the fridge
Playing hide-and-seek underneath that sink
And even stake calls that it did
Growin' up we'd found it was built for more
Than just servin' the fried chicken
'Cause the recipe we wrote by the life we're livin'
Was cooked up in the kitchen
It's where my mama read the cookbook
And daddy was playin' on the new George Trait songs on the radio
And us kids we'd sang alone
It's where we laughed and loved
And said prayers after all that we've been given
Yeah, the recipe we wrote by the life we're livin'
Was cooked up in the kitchen
♪
That old candled double door oven
Made many of thanksgivin' thank for me
It was honky tonkers, don't tellin' all
The great stories they can be
Those bare foot dancing and late night jammin'
And concert countertops
They playin' it picturin' on mind that'll never be forgotten
It's where my mama read the cookbook
And daddy was playin' on the new George Trait songs on the radio
And us kids we'd sang alone
It's where we laughed and loved
And said prayers after all that we've been given
Yeah, the recipe we wrote by the life we're livin'
Was cooked up in the kitchen

Last minute late night home order keg out
Saturday morning breakfast club
It's a heart and soul of this old house
Send root to all our love
It's where my mama read the cookbook
And daddy was playin' on the new George Trait songs on the radio
And us kids we'd sang alone
It's where we laughed and loved
And said prayers after all that we've been given
Yeah, the recipe we wrote by the life we're livin'
Oh, the recipe we wrote by the life we're livin'
Was cooked up in the kitchen
