Song about the annual church picnic and how all the ladies are trying to out do each other one who made the best dish for the picnic.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Sunday sun on the churchyard grass,
Fold-up tables lined up fast,
Ladies march in single file,
With secret recipes and competitive smiles.
Verse 2
Miss Annie’s got her fried chicken hot,
Cast-iron crust like it came from God,
Sister Mae’s got a tater salad bowl,
Swears the trick is the pickle and soul.
[Solo]
Verse 3
Cherry pies and banana cream,
Deviled eggs stacked like a holy dream,
Green bean casserole, baked beans sweet,
Someone’s grandma brought peach cobbler heat.
Chorus
It’s the church picnic showdown day,
Bless the food, then get out the way,
Smiles so sweet but the tension’s wide,
In covered dishes and covered pride.
We say “amen then sharpen forks,
Cause friendly love still likes to win, of course,
Yeah, the Lord forgives but we all still try,
To take home glory in a paper-plate tie.
Bridge
Preacher says grace, eyes open wide,
Tryin’ not to judge, but he’s pickin’ sides,
Kids run wild, men talk ball,
While the women watch whose dish gets called.
Outro
By sundown plates are scraped clean,
Every recipe crowned a king or queen,
Laughin’ loud as the leftovers ride,
On a full-bellied drive home filled with pride.
