Lyrics

Good mornin'
It's good to see ya honey
Well, I'm runnin' red lights in this Pontiac Aztek
Feel like Walter White nearly gettin' in a wreck
Well I swerve into the lot
I see your Hummer's in its spot
That day you gave me more than just the check
You were what I'd call stout
And I'm what I'd call smart
The Hooter's on broad had us off to a good start
You took my order but you also took my heart
Like I'm tearing up these wings, you're tearin' me apart
So I'm wonderin'
Can a Hooter's girl and a Denny's boy ever be together?
Can a Hooter's girl and a Denny's boy share a booth for forever?
Together
Forever
I said my over easy's won't win you over easily
But maybe I can take you to the Texas Roadhouse
We'll split some rolls and I'll go for the gold
I'll tell you I love you with my eyes on your blouse
You said now Ricky I don't think we're there yet
I'll bring you a to-go box, a refill and the check
With my heart in pieces, I shrunk in my seat
But I'll ask her again after my shift next week
But I wonder
Can a Hooter's girl and a Denny's boy ever be together?
Can a Hooter's girl and a Denny's boy share a booth for forever?
Together
Forever
Now I sent this to my friend Billy Earl Boyd and he said
"Now Ricky, you've got the perfect country and western love song
But it's missin' a few things
You ain't got nothin' about gettin' drunk, Mama, trucks
Or about how you don't trust the government"
So he sent me back this verse and after reading it
I realized he had helped me write
The perfect country and western love song
So I felt obliged to put it on this here record
Here goes
Well, I was drunk at the Denny's, at work cookin' eggs
My mama pulled up in her truck and she ordered eggs
She said, "Now son, what's on your mind"
I said, "The United States late 60's involvement
In Southeast Asian genocides"
She said, "Jeez that's pretty heavy, anyway how'd the date go?"
I said "I lied to you, mama, she told me no"
She said "I'm sorry son, and it's okay
A Hooters girl and Denny's boy is a rare thing these days"
So I guess I'll always wonder
Can a Hooter's girl and a Denny's boy ever be together?
Oh
Can a Hooter's girl and a Denny's boy share a booth for forever?
Oh
Can a Hooter's girl and a Denny's boy ever be together?
Can a Hooter's girl and a Denny's boy share a booth for forever?
Together
Forever
