Stackin’ up the hickory and oak Strikin’ sparks just give it a poke Kindlin’ catches, flames climbin’ Dancin’ in the twilight Grill grates heatin’, glowin’ red Patty pressin’, thick and fed Salt and pepper, simple spread Got that sizzle up ahead Hear that sear when meat hits steel That sound alone feels like a meal Juices drippin’, fire’s appeal Smoke rolls in, you know it’s real A little char, but not too far Flip it once, put it right thar Buns toast up beside the bar Man, this smell could travel far Oh that smoke in the air, man it pulls you in That slow-burn fire and that burger wind From the first deep breath to that last big bite Nothin’ in this world feels more right Cheese melts down like golden rain Pickles, onions— or stack it plain Pile it high, no two's the same Every bite has little flame Grease and smoke on denim sleeves Nobody here wants to leave Stories told with each reprieve Simple nights like this we keep Oh that smoke in the air, man it pulls you in That slow-burn fire and that burger wind From the first deep breath to that last big bite Nothin’ in this world feels more right With good friends laughin’ all around Cold drinks clinkin’, easy sound Burgers hot and passed around This is where the good times’re found Yeah the coals burn low but the night stays warm In the glow of the fire and the friendships formed Grease-stained hands and a full-content soul Just a burger and a fire… a warm friendly glow
