Texas BBQ Lyrics

You can argue beans in chili

You can argue sauce on steak

Or how pizzas better cold

Or pour your milk before cornflakes

You can keep your deep-fried chicken

Your burgers and hot dogs

There's only one food group I need

To keep me high on the hog

There's only one true answer when it comes to home-cooked food

The best in the US of this I promise you

You wanna see just where and how the sausage gets made

Down where western swing and cattle's king down in the Lone Star State

I'm talking Texas barbecue

My Texas barbecue

Smoke it slow, slice it thin

Wrap it up, smoke it again

My Texas barbecue

My Texas barbecue

Salt and pepper's all I need, oh

Smoke ring come deliver me

You can claim they got it better out in Memphis, Tennessee

But they also have Nashville pop country

So how good can it be

And some say Kansas City's pit masters are 10 of 10

But I don't take the word from towns that can't decide which state they're in

And out in Alabama they think they are the boss

Have the nerve to slather mayonnaise on pork and call it sauce

And the Carolinas have me crying laughing its a shame

You can smoke the whole hog, eat the brains

And be no smarter just the same

And up in New York City they'll charge you out the ass

Cook their brisket in an oven

That's all I got to say on that

There's only one true answer when it comes to home-cooked food

The best in the US of this I promise you

You wanna see just where and how the sausage gets made

Down where western swing and cattle's king down in the Lone Star State

I'm talking Texas barbecue

My Texas barbecue

Smoke it slow, slice it thin

Wrap it up, smoke it again

My Texas barbecue

My Texas barbecue

Salt and pepper's all I need, oh

Smoke ring come deliver me

Give me a beef rib, dinosaur bone

Ribs that fall off on their own

Country Style, baby back

Short or prime give me the rack, oh

Brisket, point or flat

Burnt ends for a good pit snack

Smoked bologna, chicken too

White or dark, don't make me choose

Turkey breast eat it year round, ain't just for November now

Jalapeño cheddar links, brats, kielbasa, let me think, oh

German sausage, venison, chorizo, and on and on

Best before it slips my mind

Lest we not forget the sides

Cole slaw, corn bread, mac and cheese

Big ol' bowl of ranch-style beans

Tater salad nice and thick

Mayo, mustard, take your pick(le)

Roasted corn still on the cob

Pick it clean like it's my job

Collard greens with bacon bits

So good make you throw a fit, oh

Deep-fried okra make you wanna

Walk right up and slap yo mama

Pickles, onions, all the fixins

White bread soak up all I missed and

Lastly pour me cold and sweet

A big tall glass of that iced tea

Nothing better guaranteed

That's Texas barbecue to me

There's only one true answer when it comes to home-cooked food

The best in the US of this I promise you

You wanna see just where and how the sausage gets made

Down where western swing and cattle's king down in the Lone Star State

I'm talking Texas barbecue

My Texas barbecue

Smoke it slow, slice it thin

Wrap it up, smoke it again

My Texas barbecue

My Texas barbecue

Salt and pepper's all I need, oh

Smoke ring come deliver me

Salt and pepper's all I need, oh

Smoke ring come deliver me
