Lyrics: Cornbread (09.21.07)

Dancing with the devil round the fire
Messed your mamma's bed for a little more magic
Make you wanna run around naked
Cause you know it looks good on you

You ain't ever had my cornbread
A little bit of heaven, and a little bit of
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in

Oh no thoughts inside your head
You're taken back there behind the miller's shed
Momma said, boy if you will, you're dead
You're joy is steeped with sin

Oh momma I spit in my hand
You got your thing, you gotta get it while you can
Little boy, you're dirty, but you know it's a man
The joy is steeped with sin

It soars inside my soul because of you
All the innocence that you inspire
You know you are just as God meant you to be
Come on pretty thing, go claim your flower

Dancing with the devil round the fire
Messed your mamma's bed for a little more magic
Make you wanna run around naked
Cause you know it looks good on you

But you ain't ever had my cornbread
A little bit of heaven, and a little bit of
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in

Oh go girl gonna shaking it, shaking it, shaking it
Give it all up, but you're making it, you're making, you're making
Boy know what, you take your time
The joy is steeped with sin

Momma looked good in the sticky their right
Know she gonna bone, but she keep it tight
Love all up, and then love all night
The joy is steeped with sin

You know inside my soul because of you
All this innocence that you inspire
You know you are as God intended you
Come on brother, sister, open up your flower

It's all inside your head
The love inside your head
More than you need to make you happy
It's all inside your head
The love inside your head
More than you need to make it happen, yeah

Yeah yeah, you're my lover
Yeah yeah, you're my lover
Yeah yeah, you're my lover
The joy is steeped with sin

Yeah yeah, you're my lover
Yeah yeah, you're my lover
Yeah yeah, you're my lover
The joy is steeped with sin

It soars inside my soul because of you
All this innocence that you inspire
You know you are as God intended you
To come on open up and show your flower

All inside your head
All inside your head
More than you need to make it happy
It's all inside your head
The love inside your head
More than you need to make you happy

    I am so into this song, right now! I saw Dave at the Smirnoff Music Centre, in Dallas, on 9/22. I have seen him several times. But this night was the best performance I have seen. He seemed to be having such a great time. And so did everyone else! He even mentioned that he wasn't feeling that well at first, but that we as a crowd definately set him straight. He played so many favorites as well as some new. And Cornbread and Eh Hee were amazing. I had yet to get Live at Radio City yet. So the next day, I immediately went out and got it. I am still on such a high from this show. And I have been listening to Cornbread over and over. It is so powerful and sexual. And I love this bluegrass feel that Dave has been into. He never lets me down.

    Cornbread is definately going to be another one of those DMB gems in the long run. Because I can just feel it. I have the 9/21/07 version or maybe it's the 22nd, not sure for the recording. The lyrics for my version are slightly different than this one. But you know Dave, he never stays consistent. I agree with Kara though this song is definately beautiful, powerful, and sexual. As I said before, this one is definately one of DMB's gems. Off the subject though, me and a few musician friends of mine have been analyzing this song to try and find all of Dave's hidden meanings and metaphors. It's been fun, and this song has been the topic of debate for us for a week now, haha.
