Home Cookin'

Barbecue with all the sides.
Fried chicken or fish with all the sides.
Oxtail stew with all the sides.
Peach cobbler, sweet potato pie.
One-half lemonade, one-half iced tea.

Glad to be home.

No lobster, foie gras, filet mignon.
No venison, quail or other delicacy.
Just home cookin' and a pitcher of iced tea.

Glad to be home.

Been so wrong for so long.

Glad to be home.

So glad to be home.
