lyrics

We've got potato wedge fries, dollar fifty a pound
You can find them just about anywhere here in town
I guess they're alright, cause we sell quite a few
But I especially like it when we sell them to you

This job's not the worst, keeps me up on my feet
There's not much to do, but there's plenty to see
Creatures of habit, families on the road
A day in the life of a day of no note

The truckers buy the coffee, but they add their own sugar
Reminisce about old Sally, and swear that they loved her
The fire at the alter smothered senseless by time
A white dress of satin stretched across the state line

Jerry walks on a cane and he drags through his neck
Slaps a Lincoln on the counter for his next cigarette
Throws his throat back in humor as he clutches his chest
Shuffles back out the door at the snail's pace of death

Tammy stares through the walls, wanders aimlessly near
Brings the family inside an Astro filled with blankets and beer
The dogs are at the neighbor's, doctor's note on the wall
A life behind the wheel going no place at all

We've got potato wedge fries, dollar eighty a pound
With a new blend of spices, but sales are still down
The years have been rough, but I'm sure we'll get through
But I especially miss it when we sold fries to you
