SOMETHING ABOUT HOMEMADE BISCUITS

VERSE 1: THIS MORNING AT GREEN'S COUNTRY MARKET
AN OLD MAN WAS STANDING IN LINE
AS HE BOUGHT A HALF POUND OF BOLOGNA
HOT BISCUITS WERE FRESH ON HIS MIND

VERSE 2: SAID THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HOMEMADE BISCUITS
THAT GETS A MAN'S JUICES TO FLOW
HE SAID IT STILL MADE HIS MOUTH WATER
TO THINK OF THEM, WARM ON THE STOVE

CHORUS: SOMETHING ABOUT HOMEMADE BISCUITS

VERSE 3: IT WAS SAD JUST TO THINK OF HER BISCUITS
AND HER IN THAT GRAVEYARD AND DEAD
HE RECALLED HOW SHE LOOKED IN THE MORNINGS
PINK ROLLERS ALL OVER HER HEAD

VERSE 4: HE NEVER PAID MUCH TOO ATTENTION
BUT FOUND OUT WHEN HE WAS ALONE
THAT LARD WAS JUST LARD AND FLOUR WAS JUST FLOUR
'TIL SHE ROLLED IT ALL OUT INTO DOUGH

CHORUS: SOMETHING ABOUT HOMEMADE BISCUITS

VERSE 5: HE REMEMBERED SHE SMILED LIKE AN ANGEL
WITH FLOUR ALL OVER HER FACE
HE KNOWS IF SHE'S UP THERE IN HEAVEN
THERE'S BISCUITS ALL OVER THE PLACE

VERSE 6: HER LAST WORDS WERE SPOKE IN A WHISPER
BUT THEY WERE JUST WASTED ON HIM
SHE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT HOMEMADE BISCUITS
BUT HE WASN'T LISTENING AGAIN

CHORUS: SOMETHING ABOUT HOMEMADE BISCUITS
