When you meet somebody that don't like soul food, they still got a soul And it don't mean that you got no rhythm if you don't like rock and roll But if you taste like mine, you like cider, not wine, and you're very different thing to do Is get a pretty girl, dancin' to junk band music, and a mess of mama's barbecue, barbecue This is my spirit, I swear that it never fails And the sauce mama makes just stays in forever if you dare to get it under your nails Well, you may be a boy with a wolf at your door, but money isn't everything You still got your song and a river full of fun, and you always have a song to sing So get the fun off your face, we're gonna replace it with a grin and a dream come true With a pretty girl, dancin' to junk band music, and a mess of mama's barbecue Barbecue, this is my spirit, I swear that it never fails And the sauce mama makes just stays in forever if you dare to get it under your nails So get the frown off your face, we're gonna replace it with a grin and a dream come true With a pretty girl, dancin' to junk band music, and a mess of mama's barbecue A mess of mama's barbecue
