The Blue Ribbon Heist

[Intro]
[Verse]
Floorboards creaking like a ghost
Kitchen smells of buttered toast
Flashlight beam is cutting thin
Where the sugar meets the sin
Grandma’s sleeping down the hall
Shadows dancing on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Dusty boots on gravel ground
Don't you make a single sound
Turning keys and breaking seals
Wonder how the victory feels
[Chorus]
She got that secret in the crust
Roll it out, it’s win or bust
Peaches dripping golden fire
Feeding every small town liar
Blue ribbon hanging on the line
Tonight that recipe is mine
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh)
Sift the flour, keep it low
(Ooh, ooh)
Watch the heavy 808 go
[Verse]
Found the tin behind the flour
This is finally the hour
No nutmeg, no ginger root
Just a note about the fruit
Scrawled in ink from '84
“Arthur, don't you ask for more”
[Pre-Chorus]
Click-clack, lock is turning slow
Tick-tock, forty years to go
Heartbeat like a diesel engine
Sweetest taste of old intention
[Chorus]
She got that secret in the crust
Roll it out, it’s win or bust
Peaches dripping golden fire
Feeding every small town liar
Blue ribbon hanging on the line
Tonight that recipe is mine
[Bridge]
Forty years of icy stares
At the county cattle fairs
Judge Miller liked her sister best
Put Grandma’s ego to the test
So she baked a little spite
In every single flaky bite
[Verse]
I’m sitting on the linoleum
Reading her private pandemonium
She didn't win with cinnamon
She won by never giving in
I'm shaking flour off my jeans
Knowing all the behind-the-scenes
[Chorus]
She got that secret in the crust
Roll it out, it’s win or bust
Peaches dripping golden fire
Feeding every small town liar
Blue ribbon hanging on the line
Tonight that recipe is mine
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh)
Sift the flour, keep it low
(Ooh, ooh)
Watch the heavy 808 go
[Outro]
