Burgers Tonight

( catchy guitar instrumental) **[Verse 1]** Driving down the road, sun's setting low Car starts sputtering, oh no, no Pulled up to a sign, it said "Welcome to Down" Population twenty, in a one-light town Just a flashing red light and nothing more A diner and gas station, what a score! **[Chorus]** Stranded in the middle of nowhere land My car's busted, and I'm stuck in the sand No mechanic, no tow truck in sight Guess I'll be living off of burgers tonight **[Verse 2]** Walked into the diner, met a guy named Hank Said he's the chef, and the cashier at the bank Told me his specialty's the questionable steak And the gas station sells pies that he likes to bake Hank's cooking skills aren't the best But in this town, it's still a feast, I guess **[Chorus]** Stranded in the middle of nowhere land My car's busted, and I'm stuck in the sand No mechanic, no tow truck in sight Guess I'll be living off of burgers tonight **[Verse 3]** Asked for a mechanic, Hank just laughed Said "Around here, we use duct tape and a shaft" Offered me a slice of his mystery pie I took one bite and started wondering why Duct tape fixes everything, or so Hank claims In this tiny town with its peculiar names **[Chorus]** Stranded in the middle of nowhere land My car's busted, and I'm stuck in the sand No mechanic, no tow truck in sight Guess I'll be living off of burgers tonight **[Verse 4]** Tried to call for help, but there's no signal here Hank said, "Don't worry, just have another beer" Sat on a bar stool, watching the light blink red As the only entertainment in this town, 'nuff said No cell signal, no Wi-Fi to be found Just stories and laughs going 'round and 'round **[Chorus]** Stranded in the middle of nowhere land My car's busted, and I'm stuck in the sand No mechanic, no tow truck in sight Guess I'll be living off of burgers tonight. [Verse 5] Three days later, still no car in sight But I’ve learned all the town gossip and trivia by night Hank’s become my buddy, and the cook’s my new mate Guess I’m a part of this town, and it’s kinda great Found a place in this quirky little town With my new friends, can’t feel too down [Chorus] Stranded in the middle of nowhere land My car’s busted, and I’m stuck in the sand No mechanic, no tow truck in sight Guess I’ll be living off of burgers tonight [Bridge] Who knew being stuck could be so fun? Hank and I, we’ve had a good run From rubbery steak to mystery pies This little town’s a funny surprise [Chorus] Stranded in the middle of nowhere land My car’s busted, and I’m stuck in the sand No mechanic, no tow truck in sight Guess I’ll be living off of burgers tonight [Chorus] Stranded in the middle of nowhere land My car’s busted, and I’m stuck in the sand No mechanic, no tow truck in sight Guess I’ll be living off of burgers tonight
