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
