[Verse 1] I dragged out the grill at noon Got hot dogs lined in a row Burgers sizzlin’ on the grate And a cool one in my hand to go Mama set the folding chairs By the screen door paint peeled white We were fixin’ for a game But that old TV just lost the fight [Pre-Chorus] I hit that knob and shook the frame Gave it one good tap, then two It flashed a little blue and grey Then went black on me for true [Chorus] Hot dogs, burgers, beer That’s my kind of prayer Hot dogs, burgers, beer And a busted TV stare We got food and friends We got a front porch view Hot dogs, burgers, beer That’s a Saturday truth (hot dogs, burgers, beer) [Verse 2] Daddy said, “Boy, pass the mustard” Brother said, “Grab another can” A fly kept circlin’ the paper plate While the radio played a band The game was on in everybody’s head Even if the screen stayed dark We laughed at the snow in the glass And carved a feast out in the yard [Pre-Chorus] I hit that knob and shook the frame Gave it one good tap, then two It flashed a little blue and grey Then went black on me for true [Chorus] Hot dogs, burgers, beer That’s my kind of prayer Hot dogs, burgers, beer And a busted TV stare We got food and friends We got a front porch view Hot dogs, burgers, beer That’s a Saturday truth (hot dogs, burgers, beer) [Bridge] Let it hum and let it sit Let the picture fade away Ain’t nobody missin’ much When the smoke smells this way [Final Chorus] Hot dogs, burgers, beer That’s my kind of prayer Hot dogs, burgers, beer And a busted TV stare We got food and friends We got a front porch view Hot dogs, burgers, beer And a whole day through (hot dogs, burgers, beer)
