Beyoncé Shouts Out A Michigan Made Product On Cowboy Carter: Jiffy Cornbread

Beyoncé opens with her song, 'Sweet Honey Buckin’ with the following lyrics:

“Jiffy cornbread, booty cornfed
Body rolls at the rodeo
I'm coming home, ooh
Ridin' through just to put my eyes on you
You are the superstar
Everybody drivin' all-new cars
Turn a bad night to a good time
On the trail ride to the zydeco
I'm coming home”
