BAR BQ FOOL Verse Me and my wife went to a dinner last night We were guest at a country club I got a little lit then I complained I didn’t care how good their French food was I made a scene, so we had to leave ‘Cause eating snails aint something I do While my wife was dragging me out the door I hollered, “Next time have some bar bq!” Chorus Yeah, I’m a bonafide barbq fool Pig on a fire makes me loose my cool I get excited over hash and rice Fried okra ‘sho is nice Macaroni and sweet ice tea Banana puddin’ is fine with me I’m a son of the South that’s true ‘Cause I’m a bonafide bar bq fool Verse Then yesterday, I tried to look away There was a bar bq joint in sight Neon signs shaped like a pig Gave me that craving that’s hard to fight The hickory smoke pulled me off the road Even though my wife had dinner at home I tried to hide the hushpuppies on my breath Why can’t I leave barbq alone? Chorus Bridge They say good mental health is admitting to yourself When you’ve got something wrong So for therapy, I don’t lie to me That’s why I wrote this song Chorus I love me some bar bq food ‘Cause I’m a bar bq fool I’m a son of the South that’s true ‘Cause I’m a bar bq fool (c)2013 Mac Millen Sillyacres Music
