Bowl of Cornbread

Lyrics

Verse 1
Mama set it down in a blue enamel bowl
Golden chunks of sunshine, Lord, they hit my soul
Butter meltin’ slow where the steam rolls free
Vidalia rings on top, that’s good eatin’ to me

Pre-Chorus
Pour that milk on in
Let it run right through
One big spoonful
And I’m tellin’ you

Chorus
Call it a meal, call it a treat
Bowl of cornbread, I can’t be beat
Butter and onion, milk so sweet
Call it a meal, call it a treat
(Call it a meal) (call it a treat)

Verse 2
I don’t need a spread with a silver tray
Give me that skillet gold and I’m on my way
Scoop it up fast with a worn-out spoon
Makes a Monday feel like a Saturday noon

Pre-Chorus
A little salt, a grin
That’s all it took
One more bite
And I’m hooked

Chorus
Call it a meal, call it a treat
Bowl of cornbread, I can’t be beat
Butter and onion, milk so sweet
Call it a meal, call it a treat
(Call it a meal) (call it a treat)

Bridge
Ain’t fancy, baby, and that’s just fine
It fills you up and it tastes like time
On a paper plate or the kitchen seat
It still goes down like a family repeat

Final Chorus
Call it a meal, call it a treat
Bowl of cornbread, I can’t be beat
Butter and onion, milk so sweet
Call it a meal, call it a treat
Call it a meal, call it a treat
(Call it a meal) (call it a treat)
