Recipe for Disaster |
LyricsRecipe for DisasterVERSE 1: I was starving for affection I was hungry for true love I don't need to read the menu 'Cause she's the dish I've been dreaming of She deserves so much finer than working in a diner and I wish I could just whisk her away But make that coffee to go 'Cuz I can't let it show I'll leave a big tip and roll on my way. CHORUS: Take a concrete cowboy who can't settle down Mix with a hard working waitress who will never leave town Sprinkle on some love and stand before the pastor This might be a recipe for disaster VERSE 2: There's a wide spot with a truck stop Between Birmingham and New Orleans And every night I make the same stop To see the woman of my dreams And I wish that I could tell her I just want to be her fellow and we ride off to the sunrise But I love living on the road And she ain't leaving that zip code So every night my sweet dream dies CHORUS: Take a concrete cowboy who can't settle down Mix with a hard working waitress who will never leave town I whipped up some courage and I finally asked her So maybe this won't be a recipe for disaster INSTRUMENTAL BREAK VERSE 3: If your lovelife is on a diet 'Cause of all the times you've been burned If there's a Blue Plate Special you should try it That's the greatest thing I ever learned 'Cause nothing could be finer when I pull into that diner And I kiss my baby smack on the lips And later we're alone in our ever after home And we forget about the tips and the trips CHORUS: Take a concrete cowboy with no plans to get old Add a tough talking waitress with a heart of gold Our love is so sweet 'cause I finally asked her That's how we make a recipe for.... A concrete cowboy who's just gotta hang around A waffle slinging waitress with a beauty queen crown A couple of kids and a dog with no master That's how you get a recipe for... Might be a mess but you just can't ignore... Our world famous, prize-winning recipe for disaster copyright 2025 by Ned Selfe Selfe Service Music/BMI |
