Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sun beats down on that rusty gate
Meemaaw's in the kitchen at a quarter to eight
She's got that secret recipe nobody knows
Cast iron skillet and the stove on high
Smoke risin' up to the big blue sky
Everybody talkin' 'bout where that smell goes
[Pre-Chorus]
Then she pulls it out that oven door
And the whole yard starts to roar
[Chorus]
Meemaaw's brisket that's bussin'
Got the whole crew buzzin'
Neighbors hoppin' fences just to get a taste
She don't use no fancy seasonin'
Just love and years of reasonin'
Best damn thing in this whole wide place
Yeah that brisket's bussin' - can't keep a straight face
[Post-Chorus]
Bussin' bussin'
Meemaaw's brisket's bussin'
[Verse 2]
Papa Joe ain't touched his grill in weeks
He's standin' by the counter with a red-stained cheek
Said "I been doin' this wrong my whole damn life"
Pickup trucks rollin' in from every road
Everybody carryin' an empty bowl
Meemaaw just laughs and grabs another knife
[Pre-Chorus]
Says "Y'all better save some room for pie"
But we ain't leavin' till that platter's dry
[Chorus]
Meemaaw's brisket that's bussin'
Got the whole crew buzzin'
Neighbors hoppin' fences just to get a taste
She don't use no fancy seasonin'
Just love and years of reasonin'
Best damn thing in this whole wide place
Yeah that brisket's bussin' - can't keep a straight face
[Post-Chorus]
Bussin' bussin'
Meemaaw's brisket's bussin'
[Bridge]
Smoke ring perfect every time
That bark so dark it's like a dime
Tender till it falls apart
Right into your heavy heart
[Chorus]
Meemaaw's brisket that's bussin'
Got the whole crew buzzin'
Neighbors hoppin' fences just to get a taste
She don't use no fancy seasonin'
Just love and years of reasonin'
Best damn thing in this whole wide place
Yeah that brisket's bussin' - can't keep a straight face
[Post-Chorus]
Bussin' bussin'
Meemaaw's brisket's bussin'
Bussin' bussin'
Yeah that brisket's bussin'
