Lyrics for Cornbread as interpreted by dmbmelody

Cornbread Lyrics
Dancing with the devil 'round a fire
(mess your) mama 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 corn bread
a little bit heaven and a little bit of uh huh
cut it down the middle open wide and jump right in

(ya'll gots) to give you love
and jump off from the darkness (of)
and the best one up the light you dark
cause the joy is steeped in sin
the old man, he come running 'round here looking for the sinner who took his baby
and i'm gonna tell you that it was me and the joy was steeped in sin

it soars inside
my soul before you
all the innocence is well and vile
oh and so the darkness lullaby
the innocence will make you whine/wise/wild

dancing with the devil round a fire
(mess your) mama 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 corn bread
a little bit heaven and a little bit of hell yeah
cut it down the middle open wide and jump right in

oh no no, I'm taking a chance
gonna get caught
???
running out of town because they make me mad
the joy is steeped in sin
preacher man said you watch you vault
but behind that curtain he's getting it all get
what he want the children calls the joy is steeped in sin

it soars inside my soul because of you
all the innocence just makes me wild
all fine as ohhh ???

it's all inside i think
going over there
you love that we want make to better
what please tell me friend
this love I do pretend
is one is better than the other

[scatting]

dancing with the devil round a fire
(mess your) mama 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 corn bread
a little bit heaven and a little bit of uh huh
cut it down the middle open wide and jump right in

it soars inside the dark for me
all the innocence will make you lie
all will laugh ???
it's got me now

it's all inside...
it's all inside you...
it's all inside
make you happy baby
it's all inside you
it's all inside you
what you need to make you happy
it's all inside your head
it's all inside your head
what you need to make you happy
it's all inside your head
it's all inside your head
what you need to make you happy

I think this is Dave trying a new sound, a more bluegrass sound. It's a great song. And the intro to this song on Live at Radio City is amazing.

This song is about a vagina, maybe even more. Its clearly sexual. In West Palm beach september 07, he sang about a boy spittin' in his hand, I don't think he meant for an antiquated type of handshake agreement. Additionally, I believe I hear him saying something about 'open up your lovely flower'. Cornbread is the woman's 'hoo-hoo'

I think it's about taking a young woman's virginity, which explains why he talks about guilt as something "inside your head" he's trying to convince her that what they did wasn't wrong....Also look at the line "the old man, he come running 'round here looking for the sinner who took his baby" pissed religious dad, if you want a more explicit version go find the video from piedmont park, it makes the meaning abundantly clear....can't say I care for this one much

I didn't get a chance to see the Piedmont video, but the Piedmont lyrics are different than above. What I get from the song is that it is about youth and sex and the dilemma one has between what their parents may have told them and what their desires tell them. "The joy is steeped in sin". I can see, too, how it is from the guy's perspective. The Piedmont lyrics also say something like "open up your flower" (as in deflowering, not baking flour).

Very catchy song. Radio City and Piedmont each bring a different flavor, but both good all around.

these are not the 07' lyrics at studio city. in studio city version he talks about "a fire between her legs." this song is definitly about virginity and sex. awesome song live. just saw it in st louis and it was amazing. the new song #27 he is playing this summer is also great. check it out.

In the Piedmont park version he says "open up your flower now" its obviously talking about either a virgin or having sex with a virgin. An incredible song. Have heard it twice live now.

I don't think there is a right version of this song. On Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, the live version of Cornbread is different than the versions I have heard live. But it is definitely about taking a girls virginity. Great song though, one of my favorites of his newer material.

"Flower" refers to a vulva in general, not virginity.
