Story
I always wanted to write a song about BarBq. This is what I came up with. It is, after all, a religion where I come from!

BAR BQ FOOL
Me and my wife went to a dinner one night
We were guests at a country club
I got a little lit, then I complained
I didn't care how good their French food was
I made a scene so we had to leave
Cause eatin' snails ain't something I do
While my wife was draggin' me out the door
I hollered, "Next time, have some Bar BQ!"
(chorus) Yeah I'm a bonafide BAR BQ FOOL
Pig on a fire makes me lose my cool
I get excited over hash and rice
Oooh, fried okra, sho' is nice
Macaroni and sweet ice tea
Banana puddin' is fine with me
I'm a son of the south that's true
'Cause I'm a bonafide BAR BQ FOOL
Then yesterday, I tried to look away
There was a barbq joint in sight
Neon signs shaped like a pig
Gave me that cravin' that's hard to fight
The hickory smoke pulled me off the road
Even though my wife had dinner at home
I tried to hide the hushpuppies on my breath
Why can't I leave barbq alone?
(chorus)
They say good mental health is admitting to yourself
When you've got something wrong
So for therapy, I don't lie to me
That's why I wrote this song
(chorus)
I love me some bar bq food
Cause I'm a bonafide BAR BQ FOOL
