meat and potatoes

Joan Osborne

Here she come with meat and potatoes
Come and get your plate piled high
Dish you up some fried green tomatoes
She got all you need to survive

Feed you like your momma used to
Spread your blanket down on the ground
Dip your biscuit all up in the gravy
Pickin' up the scent like a hound

Don't it fill you, don't it fill you
Don't it fill you up?
Don't it fill you, don't it fill you
Don't it fill you up?

Got to have that nice tender brisket
Sweat she got the best in town
Gave it up but lord don't you miss it
Gonna make the sweat run down

What she got got so much flavor
Barbeque or deep fat fried
Once you had it you cannot forget it
You don't need a thing on the side

Don't it fill you, don't it fill you
Don't it fill you up?
Don't it fill you, don't it fill you
Don't it fill you up?

Steam is pouring out of the kitchen
Gonna lick the plate so clean
Just a little sugar in the fatback
You can taste it on your dreams

Here she come with meat and potatoes
Come and get your plate piled high
Dish you up some fried green tomatoes
She got all you need to survive

To survive
To survive
