bill morrissey - picnic lyrics

[verse 1]
mama brought a blanket and the picnic basket
and she led us kids out on the grass
she brought coca_colas and cold fried chicken
if you wanted anything, you just had to ask
the sun was shining on me and my brothers
we couldn’t have felt better if we tried
i remember mama’s words as we broke the bread and fed the birds
everything tastes a little bit better when you eat outside

[verse 2]
san francisco in ’82
me and my bride sat out on the patio
the waiter brought a white wine for the newlyweds
who couldn’t dream of a better place to go
a gentle breeze blew as she moved close
she kissed me on the lips and i replied
i guess my mama was right when she told me one night
everything tastes a little bit better when you eat outside

[verse 3]
a summer in maine in ’91
i’d just been laid off, but the neighbors never knew
i cooked them up the swordfish, the steaks and the chickens
just about anything you could barbecue
that was just a week before my wife packed her things
and took the kids back to her folks in telluride
but, man, you know those steaks were good that night back in ’91
everything tastes a little bit better when you eat outside
[verse 4]
well, that’s my story, it ain’t a long one
every bum on this street’s got one to tell
now it’s just you and me waiting for this restaurant to close
and man, i’ve come to know this dumpster well
yeah, it’s starting to rain now and you better stay low
’cause these cops’ll get ya if they catch you on the slide
it’s like camping out but really, there’s just no place else to go
everything tastes a little bit better when you eat outside
you’ll find everything tastes a little bit better when you eat outside
