Lyrics

Don?t Go Out For Burgers (When you got steak at home) 2000

It?s Friday night, about 8 o?clock and your dinner?s all but cold
The beer she poured you is going flat and the scene is getting? old
She?s tired of waiting, tired of cryin? wonderin? where you are
When she knows you?re out making time in some old smoky bar

Now she thinks of what her momma said
when her daddy used to roam
She?d say, ?Don?t go out for burgers when you got steak at home.?

(MALE VERSION)
It used to be, you?d run right home and treat that lady right
But ever since you tied the knot, you?re out most every night
You?ll stumble home and sleep it off out in the living room
Smelling like a brewery with a dab of cheep perfume

Now she?ll tell you what her momma said
when her daddy used to roam, She tells you
?Don?t go out for burgers when you got steak at home.?

(FEMALE VERSION)
Used to be you couldn?t wait to run right home to me
But ever since we tied the know, you do just what you please.
You?ll stumble home and sleep it off out in the living room
Smelling like a brewery with a dab of cheep perfume

Now she?ll tell you what her momma said
when her daddy used to roam. She tells you
?Don?t go out for burgers when you got steak at home.?

BRIDGE: (MALE/FEMALE)
Remember when you/we fell in love,
as happy as could be
You?d take her/me out and
she/I?d be the only gal that you could see

Don?t say that she/I don?t understand,
don?t say you?re ?just a man?
Cause you don?t know a good thing when you got it in your hand

It?s Friday night, ?bout 8 o?clock and your dinner?s all but cold
The beer she poured you is going flat and this scene is getting old
She?s had about all she can take, now she needs a change of scenes
Gonna pile her hair up nice and high and put on her tightest jeans

And if you should ever make it home, you?ll find that you?re alone
Because she?s gone out for burgers ?because there?s no steak at home

That?s right, she?s gone out for burgers, ?cause there?s no steak at home
