Cornbread Lyrics by Dave Matthews

0

Lord
Yeah, Lord
Whoo!

Dancing with the Devil
'Round a fire
Mess your mama'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 never had my cornbread
A little bit of Heaven and a little bit of, oh yeah
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in

Little girl and a barber
Behind a miller said
You got to go to keep you dead
I run around the world
And i give and don't lie
Know it like I'm dead and better
So I'm coming off bad
Better keep it there
So I'll take you girl
Gonna give your head
And I'm coming in hot
In between her legs
Run around at the same time

'Cause you know that's all you need
The morning by, all the waste of you with innocence
But mother you know you gonna get whoopen good
Come the morning lets go take it right

You dancing with the Devil
'Round a fire
Mess your mama'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 never had my cornbread
There's a little bit of Heaven and a little bit of, hell yeah
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in

It's all inside my soul
She's beautiful, all the innocence that makes me desire
Oh but mother she gonna whoop you good you know
Come the morning she gonna take it right

It's all inside your head
All inside your head
Go with what you got while you got it
It's all inside your head
The guilt'll go out instead
Made with this my baby
Yeahh

(Little bit of scatting)
Come right back the miller said
It's hot as a fire
In between her legs
(Scatting?)
All you know whether sin is so damn good

It's all inside you know
The beautiful, all the innocence that makes you high
But you know your mother's good and gonna whoop you now
Come the morning it'll let you know it's right

It's come inside your head
It's all inside your head
No guilt until you feel the beating
It's all inside your head
The guilt that you feel instead
Let it go until the burning feels you
(Oh's)
It's all inside your head
It's all inside your head
All inside-you dancing with the Devil 'round a fire
