Song Description

A song about a place called "Southern Barbecue" in South Carolina

Lyrics

JUST A QUARTER-MILE FROM THE INTERSTATE
SOUTH CAROLINA EXIT SEVENTY-EIGHT
THERE?S A LITTLE PLACE CALLED SOUTHERN BARBECUE

YOU GOTTA GO SLOW OR YOU?LL DRIVE RIGHT BY
THE RED AND WHITE BUILDING WITH THE TRUCKS OUTSIDE
IT?S RIGHT BEHIND THE TEXACO STATION

PARK YOUR CAR AND WALK RIGHT IN
YOU?LL BE TREATED LIKE A LONG LOST FRIEND
IT?S CAROLINA STYLE
EVERYBODY GETS A SMILE

AT SOUTHERN BARBECUE
YOU?LL LOVE THE FRIENDLY ATTITUDE
EVERYBODY?S JUST SO NICE
ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT
IT DON?T MATTER IF YOU?RE BLACK OR WHITE
AT SOUTHERN BARBECUE

IF YOU?RE A RACING FAN, YOU?RE GONNA HAVE IT ALL
THERE?S CHECKERED FLAGS AND A CHECKERED FLOOR
AND A CHEVY HOOD HANGING ON THE WALL NEXT TO DALE EARNHARDT?S PICTURE

OVER AT THE COUNTER ARE THE REGULARS
BILLY, HE?S BEEN COMING IN FIFTEEN YEARS
AND JOHN THERE, HE?S AN ENGINEER, HE?S ALWAYS WEARING A TIE

ON THE OTHER SIDE THEY?RE WORKING FAST
FILLING UP THE CUPS WITH LAUGHS
NO ONE EVER EATS ALONE
?CAUSE EVERYBODY?S RIGHT AT HOME

AT SOUTHERN BARBECUE
YOU?LL LOVE THE FRIENDLY ATTITUDE
MELISSA?S GONNA TREAT YOU NICE
NEELY?S GONNA MAKE IT TWICE
AND STEPHANIE?S EYES WILL MAKE YOU MELT LIKE ICE
AT SOUTHERN BARBECUE
AT SOUTHERN BARBECUE
AT SOUTHERN BARBECUE
