Girard - Side Dishes and Sweet Tea Lyrics

Side Dishes and Sweet Tea

Verse 1: Well, I fired up the grill, got the barbecue right,
But it ain't complete without the sides in sight.
Cornbread in the oven, baked beans on the stove,
And the neighbors are comin', they're all ready to load.

Pre-Chorus: Got potato salad chillin', and coleslaw in a bowl,
Mac 'n' cheese so creamy, it'll touch your soul.
But the real game-changer is the tea so sweet,
It's the perfect sidekick to the barbecue feast.

Chorus: Side dishes and sweet tea, that's the way we roll,
With a plate piled high and a glass to quench your soul.
From the pickles to the onions, and the bread that's warm,
It's the magic of the barbecue in every storm.
Side dishes and sweet tea, the perfect pair,
It's the flavor of the South that we all love to share.

Verse 2: Now Aunt Edna's in the kitchen, and she's got the best pie,
She's whiskin' up the cobbler while the brisket's gettin' by.
Her hushpuppies are a hit, and the gravy's divine,
But it's that sweet tea in the pitcher that'll really blow your mind.

Pre-Chorus: Got the table set with dishes, and the sun's settin' low,
With every sip of tea, we're watchin' the glow.
As we pile on the sides, and the laughter starts to flow,
It's the little things that make the barbecue show.

Chorus: Side dishes and sweet tea, that's the way we roll,
With a plate piled high and a glass to quench your soul.
From the pickles to the onions, and the bread that's warm,
It's the magic of the barbecue in every storm.
Side dishes and sweet tea, the perfect pair,
It's the flavor of the South that we all love to share.

Bridge: Oh, the ribs might be fallin', and the sauce might be a mess,
But with sweet tea in our glasses, and sides that we confess,
We're all here together, and the mood is just right,
With a barbecue feast that lasts all night.

Chorus: Side dishes and sweet tea, that's the way we roll,
With a plate piled high and a glass to quench your soul.
From the pickles to the onions, and the bread that's warm,
It's the magic of the barbecue in every storm.
Side dishes and sweet tea, the perfect pair,
It's the flavor of the South that we all love to share.

Outro: So here's to the sides, and the tea so sweet,
To the laughter and the love, and the barbecue heat.
With side dishes and sweet tea, we're livin' the dream,
In the heart of the South, where everything's supreme.
