Lyrics
It’s a right fine day and I can see the sun and I’m drivin’ south down 301 and I’m not really hungry but I see the sign And I wonder if I can pass it up this time. Ooooo (the sign says)
Chorus: Hot boiled peanuts. Hot boiled peanuts. I like ‘em. You like ‘em. Hey we all like ‘em. Hot boiled peanuts. Hot boiled peanuts.
I’m liftin’ up my foot and I take it off the gas and I put it on the brake ‘cause I know I can’t pass up the man who’s standing by the side of the road with a smile so wide and his tailgate load
Bridge: In his truck, he’s got a pot in his pot, he’s got some hot. Oooo STOP Now I know I gotta have some…. (Chorus)
I’m takin’ out my wallet and I peel off some cash The dipper goes down ‘n makes a little splash My mouth starts waterin’, ‘cause it won’t be long I’ll be scarfin’ down peanuts ‘n singin’ my song. (Chorus)
I keep tellin’ myself that it ain’t no dream I got the world’s finest peanuts with the salt and the steam and the doc’s gonna scream when I step on the scale But if he’d try ‘em just once, he’d know why I wail for my…. (Chorus)
