Mama’s Cooking Lyrics by James Barker Band

JBB-Sides

2020

[Verse 1]
Any given night
You could set your clock
Daddy's home from work
5:30 on the dot
Brother's in his room
And sister's on the phone saying God knows what
And mama's cookin'
[Verse 2]
Like we had assigned seats
Sittin' down to say grace
Between "Honey, pass the peas"
And "Honey, how's your grades?"
Learned a lot about life
And how to finish what you put on your plate
Over mama's cookin'
[Chorus]
Every night, our lives stood still
Same conversation, a different meal
At the time, all I thought we were makin' was dirty dishes
But if there's one thing I know
It ain't about what was on that stove
It was the moments we had that I want just so bad to revisit
And these days, 'round six o'clock, you can find me lookin'
For mama's cookin'
[Verse 3]
I've been around the world
And I've broke bread with enough
To know somethin' ain't as good
When it ain't grown on the same ground that you grew up
And there's a hurt in my heart
But a head on my shoulders and it's all because of
Mama's cooking
[Chorus]
Every night, our lives stood still
Same conversation, a different meal
At the time, all I thought we were makin' was dirty dishes
But if there's one thing I know
It ain't about what was on that stove
It was the moments we had that I want just so bad to revisit
And these days, 'round six o'clock, you can find me lookin'
For mama's cookin'
[Chorus]
And I thank God for those days
Honey baked ham and heated debates
The lessons I learned along the way in that kitchen
But if there's one thing I know
It ain't about what was on that stove
It was the moments we had that I want just so bad to revisit
And I'm a product of all that stuff I took in
Eatin' mama's cookin'
Eatin' mama's cookin'
