I come from a place that by now seems so far
A small country town where folks know who you are
I've ate in some restaurants I can't even name
But I'll take home cooking,
things just the same
Buttermilk biscuits and old country gravy
They called it something else in the Navy
I've ate all kinds of cooking all over this world
But nothing beats biscuits and old country gravy
I've broken bread with some powerful men
Sat down at some tables I won't see again
Paid dinners that cost more than some's week would
pay I'd just as soon eat country food any day
Buttermilk biscuits and old country gravy
They called it something else in the Navy
I've ate all kinds of cooking all over this world
But nothing beats biscuits and old country gravy
You can dress it up so pretty and make it look great
But I'd rather just have something to eat on my plate
You can have what you want,
but if I get my way I'd rather have old country food any day
Buttermilk biscuits and old country gravy
They called it something else in the Navy
I've ate all kinds of cooking all over this world
But nothing beats biscuits and old country gravy
