Catfish And Cornbread Lyrics - This Frontier Needs Heroes

You don't have to be from the country to eat catfish and cornbread 

you just have to love it, and drop it in a muffin tin 

the cities and the suburbs still need to be fed 

so don't forget the farmers when your scratching at your head. 

My momma was born in an old house at the corner of a country road 

Sand and trees surround us, but the pecans still could grow 

hummingbirds, woodpeckers, bird dogs, and toads 

when I was just a child that's all I cared to know. 

They didn't have a TV set so there's no way to get bored 

I could go out in the yard and dig yourself a hole 

soybeans and cotton, strawberries, tobacco 

when you got yourself some land there's nowhere you can't go. 

You don't have to be from the country to eat catfish and cornbread 

you just have to love it, and forget about what they said 

the cities and the suburbs still need to be friends 

just don't forget the farmers when your eating in your bed 

There was a pond a ways away and a rotten old dirty boat 

the water wasn't always pretty it looked more like a moat 

you wouldn't wanna go swimming, but the catfish love to float 

eating off the bottom well god knows what they don't 

Some day I hope you find yourself at a good old fish fry 

with all your friends around you and the apple of your eye 

well I'm NO HUSH PUPPY, but at least I can try! 

to live and breath and die with food that makes the people smile. 

You don't need a lot between your ears, or anything in your head 

You just have to wisen up to catfish and cornbread!
