Lyrics for Hotdogs And Hamburgers by Mellencamp John Cougar:
| | | Artist: | Mellencamp John Cougar |
| | Album: | The Lonesome Jubilee | | Track: | Hotdogs And Hamburgers | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 163 | | | | Lyrics: | Drivin' down on a dry summer's day
Old Route 66 and I was just a kid
Met a pretty little
Indian girl
ALong the way
Got her into my car
And tried to give her a kiss
I'll
give you beads and wampum
Whatever it takes, girl, to make you trade
She jumped into the
back seat
And she kinda flipped her lid
She said you're tryin' to get something for
nothing
Like the Pilgrims in the olden days
We rode for a while till the sun went
away
And I realized it was sort of an honor
Bein' around this girl
I felt
embarrassed
Of what I tried to do earlier that day
She was the saddest girl I ever
knew
She told me stories about the Indian nations
ANd how the White man stole their lives
away
And although she kinda liked me
She could never trust me
And when the sun comes
up
We'd go our different ways
CHORUS
Now everybody has got the
choice
Between hotdogs and hamburgers
Every one of us has got to choose
Between right
and wrong
And givin' up or holdin' on
So I dropped her off at some railroad crossing
in Texas
An old Indian man was waiting there
He smiled and thanked me
But he saw
right through me
I could tell he didn't like me
For my kind he did not care
Because
to him I was the White man
The one who sold him something that he already owned
And it was
like he'd been riding in the car right there with us
And I felt ashamed of my acations
And
the way the West was really won
So I drove down the highway
Till I came to Los
Angeles
The town of the angels
The best this country can do
I got down on my
knees
And I asked for forgiveness
I said, Lord, forgive us for we know not what we
do
CHORUS
