Verse
We were NASCAR drivers cuttin’ short
Around turns three and four
Raisin’ 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
Pre-Chorus
Growin’ up we’d found it was good for more than just certain love fried chicken
Cuz the recipe we wrote by the life we’re livin’
Was cooked up in the kitchen
Chorus
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 send prayers after all that we’ve been given
And the recipe we wrote by the life we’re livin’
Is cooked up in the kitchen
Verse
That old candled double door oven
Made many of thanks givin’ thank for me
It was hours get talkers 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 might never be forgotten
Chorus
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 send prayers after all that we’ve been given
And the recipe we wrote by the life we’re livin’
Is cooked up in the kitchen
Bridge
Last minute late night home order keg out
Saturday morning breakfast club
It’s a heart and soul in this old house
Send root to all out love
Chorus
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 send prayers after all that we’ve been given
And the recipe we wrote by the life we’re livin’
Oh the recipe we wrote by the life we’re livin’
Is cooked up in the kitchen
