G Mama be was up before the daylight C G Coffee on before the sun would rise G D Cast iron hummin on that old stove G By the time we woke, breakfast was waitin C G Biscuits stacked in a checkered towel D Bacon cracklin loud through the house Em D Eggs and gravy, black coffee strong G D Em That kitchen felt like where the world belonged C Didnt matter if it was just us kids D Or a couple buddies wanderin in Em D Shed smile and say, Pull up a chair G D C Like there was always a little extra C G That was a slow down Sunday D Back when life had a little less hurry Em Mama in the kitchen, church clothes ready C And the whole house smellin like heaven G Then wed roll down that old levee D Church bells driftin through the morning breeze Em Man, everything moved a little different C G On them slow down Sundays Em G Em G D G Windows down and the river close C G That old levee road was all we know D Water slidin right there by the tires G Sunday school in them wooden pews C G Old Bible stories and gospel truth Funny how a little faith back then D Still finds its way back now and then Em D G Em Sometimes a nap, sometimes listenin to the ball game on the radio C A whole lotta nothin by todays world D But back then, man, that was everything G That was a slow down Sunday D Back when life had a little less hurry Em Mama in the kitchen, church clothes ready C And the whole house smellin like heaven G Then wed roll down that old levee D Church bells driftin through the morning breeze Em Man, everything moved a little different C On them slow down Sundays G Em G Em G D G
