Waffle House Songtext

von Dan Bern

Well you might think I'm way off course
But you could sum up America's political discourse
And you might could believe it, or maybe you won't, but
Red states got the Waffle House, Blue states don't

Might be the bacon ‘n cheese grit diet
Or the sausage that makes folks lean to the right
Or Uncle Joe's Pork Chops, big as a boat,
Red states got the Waffle House, Blue states don't

What makes a fella favor Nixon over JFK
Might be all of them hash browns
Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked,
Diced, Peppered, Capped, Topped, Country
Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked,
Diced, Peppered, Capped, Topped, Country

So let the pundits worry ‘bout the gender gap
Tax policy, all of that crap
It ain't gay marriage or the war on dope
Red States got the Waffle House, Blue States don't
