The band got their name from a suggestion given by a friend, because whenever that friend had dinner at Dave's house he would sit at the kid's table.

Halfway home
We're halfway home
Halfway home
So how come when you hit up a party when you get there you see that it's full of bums?
And how come when you finally talk to the girl you find out that she ain't no fun?
So now I sit with my friend and I'm drunk in his car and he's patiently driving me home.
Me and my friend,
We've been through a lot.
And I don't see
Us ever being stopped.
See we know...
Were almost home.
Halfway home
Halfway home
We're halfway home
Halfway home
So now us two sit in silence only car on the street
Playing tracks we know we'll both like.
I stare out the window.
I stare at the lights.
And I don't know what life is doing.
And I don't know what I'm doing next year.
I don't know why I can't get a date.
I don't know what's a good career.
But I do know this,
Tonight went wrong.
And me and my friend,
We'll get along.
So neither of us know,
But we're almost home.
Halfway home
Halfway home
We're halfway home
Halfway home
The party was like everything.
It could have been fun but I messed it up.
So I stand alone, I sip much faster, and get way too drunk.
Looks like I'll never know...
But we're almost home.
Halfway home
Halfway home
We're halfway home
Halfway home
The song "Halfway Home" by Big D And The Kids Table is a story of disappointment, friendship, and hope, told through the eyes of a young man trying to find his way in life. The lyrics describe a night out with friends that didn't go as planned: the party was full of boring people and the girl he talked to wasn't much fun. The singer ends up drunk in his friend's car, both of them feeling down because of some personal struggles they are going through.
Despite their problems, the two friends find comfort in each other's company and in the fact that they are almost home. They sit together in silence, listening to music and contemplating their uncertain futures, while the lights of the city pass by outside the window. The song ends on a note of hope, as the singer realizes that he may not have all the answers yet, but he knows that he has a friend by his side and that he is halfway home.
Overall, the song is a poignant and relatable reflection on the ups and downs of life, and the importance of friendship and perseverance in the face of adversity.
