[Verse 1]
What’s this country come to
When a hot dog wins the race?
I walked in tryin' to be good
Left with grease on my face
I grabbed the sad little salad
Thought I’d turn my day around
Now I’m countin’ tiled hallways
Like a man who’s let it down
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m standin’ in line
Holdin’ my pride with a napkin
Lookin’ at the menu
Like, how did it get this bad, then?
[Chorus]
Gas station hot dog
Safer than salad
Gas station hot dog
Lord, that’s a habit
Try to eat healthy
End up in a panic
Gas station hot dog
Safer than salad
[Verse 2]
There’s a guy by the sink now
With mustard on his shirt
He’s noddin’ like he knows me
Like he’s been through the worst
I’m waitin’ on my turn
In a public bathroom stall
Tryin’ not to think too hard
At all, at all
[Pre-Chorus]
And the floor’s lookin’ shiny
But the truth is kinda grim
I came in for a clean life
Now I’m just prayin’ I can win
[Chorus]
Gas station hot dog
Safer than salad
Gas station hot dog
Lord, that’s a habit
Try to eat healthy
End up in a panic
Gas station hot dog
Safer than salad
[Bridge]
Mama said, “Boy, choose better”
I said, “I’m tryin’, I swear”
But the dressing looked suspicious
And the bun was already there
So I took the easy highway
With a paper cup of shame
Now I know what “fresh” means
And it ain’t the same
[Final Chorus]
Gas station hot dog
Safer than salad
Gas station hot dog
Lord, that’s a habit
Try to eat healthy
End up in a panic
Gas station hot dog
Safer than salad
Gas station hot dog
Safer than salad
(Condiments on my shirt)
Safer than salad
